Customer Reviews
great machine, By Love-to-Travel (Washington DC) - Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) No complaints whatsoever. I was concerned the keyboard would be too small, but I adjusted quickly and now have no trouble typing. I can do everything on this little machine that I did on my 15-inch Compaq. In fact, I even do some C++ programming (for work) and have found that the small screen size is not a serious liability. Definitely buy a wireless mouse ... it makes it far easier to navigate. Also, my computer came with Internet Explorer 6 .... I upgraded to version 8, because this version has a zoom/magnification feature that allows you to zero-in on a particular area of text and enlarge it. If you learn this trick, the small screen will begin to feel much larger.
Great little computer, By P. Rogers (Western USA) - This is a great little computer! It's tiny, super light, but highly functional. The keyboard is a little smaller than normal-sized keyboard (93%), but it does not affect my typing at all. The keyboard also has a proper sized right shift key, which a lot of netbooks do not. The wireless works very well. There is minimal bloatware installed on it (only McAfee), which is a plus. The screen is bright and crisp. The performance is surprisingly peppy for typical web surfing, office applications, etc. The 6-cell battery runs a long time (6 hours or longer). I have ripped a bunch of DVDs, which I watch when I fly -- it's awesome on this little computer. Samsung installed its own C: disk image utility on a D: partition (ala Ghost), which is a nice feature. The screen is matte, and so there are no annoying reflections like you get with glossy screens. All in all, an excellent system.
Three complaints. First, the bluetooth mouse sometimes loses connection. I compensate by turning the mouse off-and-on or resetting it, which usually solves the problem. Second, I get a conflict between my wireless and wired connections, which I solved by only running wireless. There is no loss in performance. Third, my computer has a glossy exterior and so it attracts a lot of fingerprints. I think they changed the body from glossy to matte, which solves this problem.
Recommendations. First, get a bluetooth mouse. No wires, and no dongles like USB mice. Another recommendation is upgrade the RAM from 1GB to 2GB. The RAM stick costs about $25 at today's prices and it makes a big difference. Installation is simple (5 minutes) -- several people have posted video segments online about how to do it. I also recommend getting a cute little padded carrying case.
Overall, it is my favorite computer purchase (I have 6 in my house at the moment). A well deserved 5 stars. They simply got it right with this system.
