Great little machine!
Pros: Portability,resolution,built-in VZW broadband, hard drive
Cons: price
This is great little computer that easily fits in my purse/bag. It is not my main computer, but it is great for travel, hanging out at the coffee shop etc. The default screen font is small, so you need to change it, but that is simple. I looked at the Dell, HPs, etc, and when you add all the things this computer comes with, the price is not too bad. This computer definitely draws a lot of attention, so be careful! My kids use it when we are out of dinner and they are bored. The built in GPS is great and a trial version of MS Office is loaded, so just need to get a key it if it is something you want/need. The resolution is amazing! I love the computer and found that the other brands are not as portable and are not truly a computer when you start comparing. Finally, the style of the computer is wonderful...love it! Just make sure you are comparing apples to apples, not apples to oranges when you do your research.

Ooooooh!
Pros: size
Cons: windows vista
Sooo small, quiet, light, adorable. Need magnifying glass to read font, though. If you make it bigger, then the battery does not last long and cannot see everythiing on the screen. But, I guess for it being so small and portable you have to deal with it. Color is beautiful! Did have to get extended life battery. It does not make it too much heavier.
