Pros: 1> Compact design with a good keyboard; The keys spring back when you type and they aren't too small to type on. Some of you with larger hands may have a hard time adjusting to the size difference, however. 2> Bright, crisp display. 3> Great integrated wifi; The Atheros wifi chip seems to perform on par with the usual Broadcom, if not better. 4> Portability! When you close the netbook, it goes into suspend mode to save you battery life. Although the 3-cell battery that comes with this will only last you 2 and a half hours (optimistically) you can order 6 or even 9 cell batteries to make it worth your while. (8.5 hours of battery life on a note/netbook? Sounds like a dream!)

Cons: 1> Webcam is horrible. The bandwidth is slow so don't bother taking videos with it. 0.3 megapixel? What is this, 1998? 2> MOST IMPORTANTLY: The SSD that comes in this device is bottom-of-the-barrel. It must be based on old flash technology, or is at least the cheapest, crappiest SSD that acer could afford. In the Linpus Lite environment, you won't notice it, but should you install Windows like I have, you'll soon discover that the write speed of the drive is MISERABLE. Sure, it can boot up in 15 seconds, but if you're running an operating system that uses a pagefile, you'll tell a different story. If you're a power user, look into finding a compact-flash-to-ZIF adapter with a suitable sized CF or even an 1.8 iPod hard drive to use when you crack this baby open to upgrade it's RAM to 1.5gb. BOTTOM LINE: I don't mind the webcam. My satisfaction with this product was 5 eggs until I discovered how horrible the SSD inside is; If I had known, I would've bought the HDD model.

Overall Review: Caveat emptor. Do your research before buying this; If you plan on installing XP at any point, don't bother unless you're also willing to install it to a new storage device.

The product arrived in a timely fashion, and my first thought was that the international shipping from another vendor I purchased the item from had failed to update tracking and was ahead of schedule. Regrettably, no. Despite contacting the seller within an hour of ordering to ask for a cancellation through Newegg's process, the seller charged my card and shipped the product regardless. I'll find a use for it or sell it to a friend -- No need for a refund or return, but needless to say, this was a disappointing experience when it comes to contact with the seller. Product was undamaged in shipping and functions as advertised. The shipping was timely. Caveat emptor -- Think twice before ordering from this seller, as they ignore cancellation requests.

I placed an order and checked back on it a few days later to see that the tracking number provided wasn't registered on the parcel website. I sent an email to the seller and he reassured me it was on its way and let me know which carrier it was going through. It arrived the next day in good condition. I would purchase from this seller again.
