As a constant traveler who has to have his laptop with me wherever I go, I was getting very tired of lugging my 10 pounds of laptop around, wishing something lighter (that didn’t cost almost $2,000) would come around and here it is. Light enough, powerful enough (I added a 2 Gig ram chip to it, as I’m kind of a power user, but the 1 gig is fine for most things), with amazing battery life (I get at least 8 hours out of it), this netbook is super!
