Cool Stuffs Review

I have had this netbook for about a week and I love it, and everyone I have shown it to wants one. As many other reviews noted, you are purchasing this for the portability not the speed. I upgraded the RAM to 2G (the Mushkin chip noted in other reviews) and the speed is acceptable. I am writing this to add some "geek" info lacking in other reviews - most users will not find the info below useful. Before making this purchase, I researched the Atom N270 ship and read it supports Hyperthreading and Virtual Machine extensions. Because it supports Hyperthreading, it appears as a "dual core" CPU in task manager and device manager; this is just a quirk of these tools and it is in fact a modern single core processor. Most computers that have chips that support the Virtual Machine extensions have a BIOS parameter enabling or disabling this feature, and usually default it to "disabled". The BIOS on this machine does not have this functionality, and it is in fact disabled and therefore unavailable to the 1% of users (like me) who would make use of this feature. I ran Windows XP in a VM (I use Microsoft Virtual PC 2007) and it worked perfectly. However when I tried to run Ubuntu in a VM, it got stuck in GRUB and would not boot. This is no big deal but it is a disappointment. I did not try the VMWare product yet.

I found a small wireless mouse is preferable to the pad, but the
pad is acceptable.

Overall I recommend this netbook.
