Great product for its intended purpose; and really fun
This laptop is very small and very light. As a consequence, the keyboard is tiny. People complain about that but they miss the point. It isn’t as small as a BlackBerry or similar devices. The laptop is about the size of a small book so it is easy to take with you when you don’t feel like lugging a huge laptop.

The screen is very good and the Linux OS is just fine. I like Linux but my wife, you is neutral, said she doesn’t care if it has XP or not. She can work with her documents and surf no problem.

I used it when I was on jury duty and wrote to my wife and work since we weren’t allowed to have cell phones. It connected to their wireless flawlessly and the time flew by as I watched movies and sent email.

Another cool thing is the huge communities that have been created for this thing. They show how to mod it, put operating systems on it, all kinds of things. You can get an MSI wind I suppose, but it won’t have the cult following!

good for its price
cons: this pc gets hot after a while. wireless is not that great despite having strong signal. the linux OS is inflexible
pros: fast and webcam is nice.

Slowest Laptop EVER
I purchased this item hoping for a small, highly portable second laptop to take with me when I travel for business. What I got, however, is a PC that takes 20 minutes to boot, hour-glasses every time you move the mouse, and is generally completely worthless. Returned and went with the Eee PC1000 and it is a much better machine.
