Confirmed purchaser General home user

Score 10.0/10

Good points:: Fantastic machine. I use it for internet browsing (including BBC iPlayer) and email (Thunderbird), and its performance handles that without any problem. Performance is snappy. Screen resolution is great - much higher than usual in a netbook. Keyboard is very easy to type on. Battery lasts about 5 hours.
Bad points:: It's not as slick as a Macbook Air, but it is only a third of the price.
