    Strengths: Mobile without noticeable compromising.

    Weaknesses: Original 3-cell battery lasts only 2 hours.

    Overall Evaluation: I bought this just because it was a decent deal at first place. After using for almost 3 month it actually becomes my main laptop and mobile reader. It's much lighter than my 15-inch toshiba lappy, around 2.2lbs with 3-cell battery and about 2.8lbs with 6-cell battery. The atom cpu is not slow at all for daily home tasking like surfing the web, checking email etc. The only shortage is the 3-cell battery that only lasts for about 2 hours with wifi always on. I got a 6-cell battery from ebay, which gives me almost 5 hours power time.

    Strengths: this is a fabulous little netbook.

    Weaknesses: 3-cell battery life is weak, lasting about 2.5 to 3hrs. not sure what could be draining the battery so much for such a small laptop. maybe the hard drive?

    Overall Evaluation: This 2lb 8.9" laptop is fabulous. the screen is good sized and the LCD brightness quality is adjustable from dim to bright. There's a plentiful 3 USB ports, VGA out, mic in and audio out. This netbook comes with a webcam and mic so you really won't need a mic in. There's a SD card slot for transferring photos to your netbook and a kensington security slot for locking down your netbook to something unmovable. Overall, the keyboard quality is fairly good for something this small. Response is good but the the touch pad mouse is something that is not well liked. It's small and the left and right clickers are difficult to tap, almost requiring a sturdy press. But that's not a huge problem because you can plug in a USB mouse to it. The netbook is stylish and the LCD hinges are STURDY. The wireless network card is quick and responsive, locking into my wireless network at home without problems. I read that many users have problems with the noisy fan but I really do not hear fan. In fact, I think the newer models might be fanless!
