Awesome little netbook
I waited for this particular version with the audio BEATS and I think it was worth the wait.1) Processor speed and RAM – would have been nice to have 2 GB of RAM but since this netbook was for my mother, I have not bothered to get an upgrade. But if you use this netbook for browsing and Skype, etc, 1 GB of RAM is good enough.
2) Windows – OS is a version of Windows 7 boot and does not have all the features as such. The part that surprises me most is that the Starter Edition, you can not change your wallpaper. How bizarre is that? You can change the screen saver, but can not change the wallpaper. How difficult would it be for MS to have this feature. So again, this is for my mom, so I do not care if I upgraded to Home atleast.
3) Battery – Battery life is approximately 5-6 hours of what I have observed within 2-3 days.
4) Laptop gets hot – I did not find that the bottom of the laptop gets a little warm but not too much.
5) Size and Weight – Height is just great and perfect to go into any bag, small or small. Its perfect for my mother to carry in his bag. The weight is correct and not too much.
6) Looks – The netbook looks impressive, they have some good colors and I love the look and feel of the netbook.
7) Picture and sound – decent camera and the sound is very good and it’s pretty comparable to my old laptop HP DV4 series.
Overall, I think it’s a great buy for $ 299. You get more than you can ask. If it were not for my mother and if it was for me, I would have updated the following:
a) RAM
b) Windows 7 – Home Starter Edition from
c) Increase the screen resolution
