Good points:: Excellent battery life, nice design and size. Lasts forever, battery life vs performance is easily manageable with the tools provided on the netbook.
Bad points:: The touchpad mouse takes a little bit of getting used to. Speakers are quite quiet but volume is fine on headphones.

Confirmed purchaser Busy postgraduate student

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Brilliant battery life, easy to carry around (fits in handbag), USB charging facility when switched off is really useful for iPhone charging, decent memory, good sized keyboard - amazing that all the keys fit in the space! Overall, very pleased with my purchase.
Bad points:: - The volume is far too quiet. Even with headphones it's a strain to listen to tv or a movie - frustrating as part of the reason for the purchase was for this purpose when travelling.
- The wireless programme which is ready-installed is a nightmare - not connecting to my 'home' network despite it appearing on the 'map', sometimes will not attach to any networks even though it shows that there are some available. Overall really difficult to use, it doesn't really work and it's very difficult to work out how to override it with the usual Windows network manager - I had to google it on my other laptop to work out how to override the programme as it refused to connect to any network even when I was at home.
- For some reason I always miss the backspace button and hit another - I imagine this is because of the reduced keyboard.
- Touchpad is sometimes overly sensitive
