This has been a nice little puter and I'm glad I bought it. It's for travel and going to hot spots over lunch, etc. Because of the small screen (which really isn't a problem) I removed most menus from IE which removed the convenient Back button. It's been no problem because I programmed the touch pad to to internet back when I tap three fingers. The other features of the touch pad (like two finger scrolling) are also really nice. The L and R click buttons are a little stiff and hard to push but with the programable touchpad you hardly need to push either one. Warning: If you are a serious typer (like a student needing to type a paper, etc.)I would think of buying a regular laptop or another 10 inch machine like a Samsung NC10 with a 6 cell battery and FULL size Right shift key. I've kinda got used to it but it drives my wife crazy. The small shift key is the ONLY problem I have with the machine. Unless you have real fat fingers, the keyboard is otherwise OK for typing.
The battery lasts quite a long time. I typically get 5 hours with the screen turned down slightly and the settings on low power.
The sound from the speakers is rather soft even a full volume but I use headphones anyway.
Amazon shipped real fast and is a great seller. I could have got the machine a few dollars cheaper from another less famous retailer but chose Amazon due to their reliability and support.
