Cool Stuffs Review

I don't usually write reviews, but I read hundreds of reviews before I purchased this computer so I felt compelled. Great little computer. Start up, and shut down is quick. Wireless internet works great, connected to my wireless signal at home and at work with no problems. Touchpad isn't the greatest but you do get used to it. I have used it for about three weeks without plugging in a mouse. Battery life is about 6 hours or more, which is great. Came with 5200mAh battery from J&R which is what is advertised. Charging takes about 2.75 hours with the netbook off. That seemed like a long time at first then I realized that is why you can get so much usage before having to recharge. Screen is bright and clear without changing any settings. Compared to the Samsung NC10-14GB this Acer has a better screen. The hard drive is huge compared to other netbooks in this price range. Upgraded RAM to 2 GB by purchasing Crucial 2GB 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300). This was probably not necessary unless you want to be able to stream tv shows and such at full screen. Since I upgraded, it hardly ever lags on full screen. I also purchased Case Logic LNEO-10 Ultraportable Neoprene Notebook Sleeve (Black) with handles. I can either tuck it into a briefcase, or suitcase or just grab it by the handles and go. Case is a little bulky if you intend to carry the power cord in the outside pocket (which I don't). I will probably purchase an external DVD drive in a couple of months for the few occasions I want to use it as a portable DVD player. I borrowed one to load software and burn the restore disks.

Prepare for fingerprints! They show everywhere on this thing. Haven't really found a good way to keep them cleaned off. I also want to say this does not replace the need for a desktop computer. It has however completely replaced my laptop.

Overall, I love this little computer and wonder what I ever did without it.
