Has a real hard drive (80 GB) instead of flash storage. Includes three USB ports and an SD card reader. Comes in colors. Bright screen for this category

Slower than a sedated slug at just about every app despite 1.6-GHz Atom chip and 1-GB RAM (standard 9 model includes just 512 MB RAM). Cartoonish styling. Considerably heavier than advertised (and the Eee PC 900) at 2.6 pounds. Far too buggy to be...

Small, compact, lightweight, great battery life before needing recharging, built in webcam, wireless or hard cable connectivity

I really wanted to use linux on this, but the gos operating system that comes with it was very buggy, even after reinstalling the newer version available from the sylvania website, so I installed XP home on it and downloaded the drivers (also available...

I am a big linux fan and I love Ubuntu. After finding the propers drivers and such, it worked great. Suse isn't great for the average user so if you want to stick with lin, go and download Ubuntu lite or something. It is not hard to set things up since...

Not really that powerful, but when you are using just to have for meetings and college work, it works great

Great build quality, form factor, screen. Battery life is also impressive for a 3-cell 2200mAh battery. Can get warm but I blame the HDD for that

gOS is a flop and it's a project to get CPU scaling working properly under Ubuntu Linux 8.04 and 8.10. You need cpu-freq and a few other tools and add them to the modules file ; Harddrive is horribly slow and gets hot way too fast

Install Windows XP Sp1, Sp2, Sp3 and it runs great the net book actually response better on a Windows based Operating system. No lagging videos nor flash videos on play it does what it was designed to do

The whole linux things is just horrible, it makes the machine lag on video plays and the response over all is slow

Small, easy to read, Very Light Weight (1.82lbs). Really good value for the money. 30gb of hard drive, 1gb of ram. It has everything you need plus its not a pain to carry around like the other hug laptops

Comes with some linux based OS which is very similar to Mac os. Put that's an easy fix after downloading the XP drivers from the wed site, and hocking up an external CD drive
