Great little computer
Pros: Works!
Cons: None Yet
I bought this one for my daughter and just got done setting it up. It networked well, runs great. What makes it run so well is that fast hard drive it has. Plays movies and videos just fine. Webgames good too. Screen is incredible, makes you forget it is only 10". This is not a performance notebook replacement as you would know from the processor and specs. Works great out of the box. The only thing I changed was the security: decided to go with Microsoft Security Essentials and took off all the Google adware/spyware.
