Good Points

Price and specification. I didn't care that it had Linux or only 512mb ram because anybody competent enough and has the dexterity to open the case can upgrade the Ram to 1.5gb. Involved dismantling the laptop but there are a few useful guides on youtube regarding ram upgrades. Again, youtube has some guides for the installation of XP using a flash disk. At the end of the day £199 was a very cheap price to pay for a netbook with a 1.6ghz atom. 1GB ram was only £8 from crucial and I had a copy of XP somewhere too.Keyboard is very nice and is more ergonomic than the EEEPC. 120gb hard drive can swallow my MP3 collecction and my photographs.


Bad Points

Battery life! A 3 cell battery is only good for 2.5 hours under normal browsing usage with the sceen brightness minimised. Similarly the standard spec isn't particularly that promising if you want to use the netbook as anything more than a mobile browser, but if your willing to bastardise your laptop, it's a good bargain!

Very good value for money but standard specifications and linux can be a bit miniscule for some.If your techincally competent, it can be upgraded at a very cheap cost. 120gb hdd, 1.6ghz atom processor... eee pc specs can't get close for the pricepoint of £199
