I bought this cute little puppy netbook in January '09 ... can't remember now how I got along without it!. It's fast, powerful, but most important it's light and I can take it anywhere. My old reliable Toshiba hardly ever gets a work out these days. After 2 months of using it almost daily, I have no complaints. The only downside is no cd/dvd ... so, it's a tricky process to install programs, and it's not for folks who want to watch movies on dvd. But if you need a fast, inexpensive laptop for wordprocessing, spreadsheet, emails, and photo storage on the go, can't beat this little beauty!
