Great Things Come In Small Packages By msculit on Apr 27, 2009 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

My husband is not one who get swayed by media-hype ads or by mere appearance of a product. He does not mind getting my hand-me-downs like my old LG laptop and Sony Ericsson mobile. He does not complain at all. He uses whatever is still useable and he is one pragmatic man.

I was surprised to find a new laptop on my study table one day. It was not just a laptop but a notebook at that! I thought it was mine but it was his. That was a first!!!

Here are the pros of this small gadget:

Slim

Small and portable

Lightweight

Intel Atom/Operating system is Windows XP

Great Multi-media features such asbuilt-in webcam,built-in microphone, stereo speakers and multi-reader card slot

Power-saving design with Energy Star of 4.0 standard.

Includes software like product recovery program cd, application launcher, Norton Internet Security and Adobe Reader

Ethernet/wireless/LAN connectivity

Cons:

Keys on the keyboard are close to each other that I always get the wrong key

No CD-rom

Hard drive is 80GB only

Screen is 7" (because it is small, so that is rather a pro and a con at the same time).

Well, weighing the cons against the many advantages this small unit has, we have to agree that this is one wise purchase my hubby did even though it was not for me :) I enjoy using the small notebook because it is not cumbersome. If I have my way, I want one too...

2 USB ports
