1184371 2011-03-08 07:05:00 Can you tell me what you like/don't like about it?

W7 doesn't bother me much.

How is the battery life?

I've only owned it since Saturday, but so far I haven't got many, if any complaints, although I do wish the screen would tilt back further. Apart from that, having a 320GB hard drive and 2GB RAM (upgradeable) is a nice bonus for a netbook :D

The PC has HDMI and USB 3.0 if you're after either of them :)

Battery life can be as high as around 5 hours or more (Windows reports), but I've yet to test it for myself.

Did you get it for a good price?

Not really keen on the Air, for the same price I'd take the MBP.

Retailers are clearing the old MBP for that much. I'm sure I can get that dropped at least 100$ if I pay cash. But that's still at the same spec as my old (dead, resurrected, and dead again) laptop...

Would trust what windows says. :p

A little under $920 with the online cash discount :D

Aah, but with two graphics cards in this machine (Intel and NVIDIA), the battery life can fluctuate a lot :p

1184375 2011-03-08 08:05:00 Don't go for a netbook, spend a little more (ok, maybe a lot) and get a machine with a decent processor. You won't regret it :) jwil1 (65)

18th of April is the best we can do.
