(More customer reviews)This netbook was a recent purchase I made at a local store. So far, I have really enjoyed using it. I needed an inexpensive portable computer to take with me on mountain climbs and hikes in the wilderness now that I have a data-capable satellite phone. Before this netbook, I did not own any computer that cost less than $800, so I did not want to carry them on somewhat dangerous treks. I do however have a bit of advice for anyone who decides to purchase one of these: First, it runs much quicker with a different antivirus program than the one that comes preloaded on it. I noticed when I first used it that McAfee was using around 90% of the processor power, so it ran pretty slow. Now I have it running pretty quickly without antivirus software, but only because I am an IT professional and plan to restore the computer if it ever gets a virus. Second, if you want to have a netbook with 3G cellular internet access, it's possibly best to do what I have done and purchase a 3G USB device from Virgin Mobile prepaid, which you can buy a $10 plan, good for 10 days with 100mb or a $40 unlimited data month plan. This setup makes it much easier to only pay for 3G when needed, not all the time. Also, if you want more than 3-4 hours of battery life you may want to purchase a larger battery for it. My plan is to eventually just purchase a second battery like the one that came with it because larger netbook batteries usually stick way out of the bottom and ruin the thinness of the computer.
Anyway, I highly recommend this PC to anyone looking for a low-cost netbook. I will definitely be using it for work, school, and hiking since it can fit in just about any bag and works well.
