We went and bought one for 25.00 here at Amazon. Note it does not have a DVD drive, so if you need to install anti-virus you will need to download it another way. My husband uses this for work when he is on the road. I wouldn't want a laptop this small for everyday use.
Its draw back:*It comes with a 110 power supply, it needs a DC adapter for the car. It use electronic drive no mechanical drives maybe this will mean no hard drive failures. The cover fits tight, ligth potection.I use electronics pug-in drives like they are CD/DVD/Floppy drives. This mini, is handy little worker. About half the time I use my car is my office.*It comes with PJ-45 no phone line, it needs the adpater to PR--45 to have a USB to phone or PJ-45 to phone line.Software manufactures need to put programs on electron drives.Insure you back up inportant data, not foresure data is retreavable if hard drive dies.Speaker is weak.I think it needs a cooler.For around $50 you can get a USB DVD/CD writer drive.The * items is why I gave it a 4.Needs a wrist/waist/suiside strap incase it wants to jump/fall to floor.Heed a stand so I can use it like presentation portfolio. It function well. I worried about being able to read the screen, I have no proble with it. It fits iinto 4" deep breifcase leaving enough room to carry by work's documentation.
Just wonderful. My wife used to use external mic and external webcam with her previous laptop and it was a drag. I have seen some other netbooks and they all looked cheap. This one has a very clean finish and it easily compares to my main $1200 laptop.Setup:No problem with XP home setup.
Speaker / Mic / Webcam: These built-in features are fantastic for skype. I bought this netbook for my wife. Summary:Just buy it. Noise: Lots of ppl have complained about the noise. But this one is silent. NO CD drive:This is not a problem.
Absolutely no problem connecting to the internet, etc. It is small. Instead of the second card reader, they could have added a HDMI output. SD Card reader:This computer has 2 flash memory card readers. I successfully installed softwares by sharing the CD Drive over the network from my other laptop. (This might be because of my wife's prayers too). This netbook has these things built in and so no cables and no extra space needed. Dont waste time reading other reviews.
It is elegant. I just cannot believe we got the same model. We bought the laptop for this main reason. It delivers what it promises.LooksThe look of the netbook is really great. I think this is a waste considering the harddisk already has 160 GB. After reading the reviews, I was a bit reluctant to place the order because of the noise thing. We were up and running in 15 mins. No noise what so ever.
WAYYY to many pre-installed apps.10. lasts only 1.5 hours.6.Never accepts ethernet cable that works with other computers FINE7. here is the list of problems i have had in in only a 1/2 year with it.1.Crashed and lost all my data twice. When i sent it back the hard drive had 120 GB. even unsecure4.gives be Blue Screen Of Death (Google it.). I got an acer aspire one xp with 120 Gb for christmas.
BUT wait. Touchpad is horrible.8.Gets BURNING HOT on the underside-left after about 45-55 min of constant use.9. i thought it was great at first-but dont be fooled. at least once a week.5.Batt. The Acer people who "fixed" it sent it back with only 105.BOTTOM LINE-THIS THING (with xp-i havent tested linux on it) IS HORRIBLE.BUY A MAC FOR GOD SAKE. yes-it is small, light, and portable.
(because of this i had to ship it back to the factory).2.Webcam is now broken-says that cam is not pluged in to the system.3.Almost every time i use internet through Wi-Fi it refuses to connect to any secured router anyware.
almost puts a hp dv6000 to shame. PROS:built-in camera3 usb portscomes with xp (other models have linux)disc-free restore is pervert fastit's under 3 c notesCONS:built-in mic = defunctrelatively loud w/overworked & underachieving fan (fix: google aa1 fan)gets hot like breakers get down, but for its size you can't blame itmade in china. this is the year of the acer as the recession continues to bone us. this cost less than half that even after a 150.00 rebate. china. china.
