  • Pros
    Can use speakers with 3.5 input even when off!
  • Cons
    Nothing!

I have had one of these since launch... The average 6-7 hours on battery unless it's youtube... (then 2-3) lol Love that I can use my Galaxy S2 smartpgone headphone plug to drive the awesome sounding speakers when the unit is off! One of only a few Netbooks to handle full 1080p video thanks to a Toshiba bios update :) Smashes anything with that dog of an Atom processor in it :)

  • Pros
    works out of the box
  • Cons
    1G Ram is too little.

I had to immediately upgrade my memory to 2G as windows 7 ran like a dog.

Once fixed it all went very smoothly. I took it on holiday in asia and enjoyed the quick wireless access and super low weight.

I never ran out of battery doing typical things like cruising the internet at airports while waiting for flights.

The only place it may be an issue is inflight, but I hate working on a flight and using a touchpad there is bleucch.

One minor issue is that a typical HDMI cable is pretty heavy and pushes the wee thing around a lot.
