Perfect Downsize Laptop January 9, 2009
I am not particularly literate with computers. Havingations a Ubuntu OS made me hesitate a bit. I have had no problems with early use of Ubuntu. The applications on the laptop are all terrific. They are close enough to Windows, that it only takes a little while to catch on. Comes with a PDF printer installed, which is a huge plus for me. If all you want is a good internet connection, this is a perfect down size laptop for me. It almost goes in your pocket. This is a sensational entry into the lap top world.
Buy this machine! Totally awesome netbook! January 6, 2009

This laptop is great. It is everything I expected. Ubuntu Remix works like a dream on it! Runs like regular Ubuntu but Remix has a nice little desktop with compact icons and transparent Windows ;) that run much better than Vista. I am glad I do not have to worry about spyware and viruses on this thing like Windows. Hey, Ubuntu is making Microsoft scared. That is why they are still rolling out Windows XP on these other netbooks you see! This machine is for the advanced computer user and people who just want to surf and be productive and can live without Windows apps. There are 100s of other Linux apps. that work just like Windows apps, so don't sweat it!
Full size performance in sleek size November 22, 2008

This little netbook is half the size of a normal laptop, and weighs hardly anything. I was really impressed with the Ubuntu operating system - don't be intimidated if you have never used linux before! It is super easy to get used to, and what is really awesome is the add/remove program tool. Instead of going to the computer store and buying programs, you just use this application to access literally thousands of programs to do anything, even great games - ALL ARE FREE! br /It operates silently, runs all sorts of programs quickly (3D games not so well), transfers data via USB faster than any other computer I have used, and the battery lasts almost 3 hours - though it was 3.5 hours when I got it a month ago. Everyone who sees this computer loves it too. br /When comparing stats to other little netbooks you will see that this is the best buy, and trust me - get the Ubuntu version and stop being a slave to corporate software giants!!!br /
