I use the notebook professionally. I added 2Gb of RAM memory and the computer is supporting very well all my needs.
The single point of less satisfaction is about the cam, but it can be my lack of ability to use it, as I have few usage of it recently.
In general, the processor is good speed and the weight...waw! It's amazing how lighter it is than my old 13"! I'm very satisfied and recommend the product, as it costs 3 times less than a similar Vayo.

I use this product for work to write up session notes in between home visits and at home for work and personal use. The laptop is light and easy to carry. The long battery life allows me to use it in the car between sessions.

Works great so far - portable, lightweight, relatively fast start-up, lots of memory.
Only complaints I would have is with the keyboard and starting programs. The keys are *so* flat and streamlined, sometimes it's hard for me to tell where the keys are when typing fast. (for me at least) there are too many starting promotional programs. I spent the first few hours just deleting installed programs.

This Acer has the Core 2 Solo CPU which is more powerful than the Atom. The HDD is large enough for anyone's needs(250GB) but it is very easy to upgrade to a larger one if needed. Came with 2GB Ram which I upgrded it to four the same day it arrived. Operation is smooth and quick. The VGA & HDMI outputs are wonderful. Large keyboard and screen make for easy typing and reading of information presented onscreen. I purchased this netbook to replace my 10" and I'm glad I did. Comes with a free upgrade to Windows 7. I Definitely recommend this netbook to anyone looking for a small but powerful unit that is super lightweight. I Definitely recommend this netbook to anyone.
