bought one for my sister on friday. after a few days of use, its not bad, but not the greatest. it does wat its suppose to do - which is for surfing and documents. dont expect it to perform like a regular sized laptop.
wat i like about it:
-small and compact
-screen is pretty sharp and bright when its at full contrast. also uses LED backlight from wat i heard
-like the esthetics of it - the bestbuy version only comes in white
-battery life was awesome - it gave me about 4hrs - i timed it by working on it while watching the canucks game. started using it at around 7pm and died at around 1030pm
-the mouse buttons are on the bottom of the mouse pad instead of the side like the acer ones
-after upgrading the bios, the f11 and f12 keys are available
-ram slot is easy to access so if you need to upgrade to 2gb, its easy.
wat i didnt like about it:
-8gb ssd mini pci-e harddrive - its almost proprietary and too expensive to upgrade.
-after installing the essential programs, you're left wit about 2-3gb of space compressed
-keyboard layout - it takes some time to get use to it. like for example the right shift key is all the way at the end.
as a storage solution, i also got a 16gb sdhc for $30, formatted it to ntfs and just leave it in there. works pretty well. also theres a coupon to knock off $25 off if you spend over $250. so total after was around $350
