dell

Purchased this laptop from a retail computer shop a little while ago and have had a few weeks to play with it.

Overall, I feel that this is a solid product. I purchased this when my Dell Mini 9, (now discontinued) bit the dust, and overall feel that this newer netbook model is a vast improvement. As I am a college student who uses this product primarily for taking notes in class, I must say that the keyboard is ideal, and I have no problem keeping up with the lecture almost word-for-word. This is a large improvement over my previous netbook, which had a very congested keyboard along with keys swapped from their normal positions. The trackpad and mouse keys are pretty stellar also, although I must admit the pad itself could stand be a little larger, this is not a deal-breaker however. Bundled Windows 7 software seemed to work adequately well, however I did get rid of the massive amount of bloatware that comes with any piece of HP hardware. Soon after purchasing, I installed Macintosh OS X, which I greatly prefer.

Only caveat I can think of is the power-switch located on the side of the device can be tricky sometimes for people that are avid nail-biters, (like myself). A power-button would have been preferred, but it's not the end of the world.

One thing of note is that this page says that the RAM limit is 1GB, however this is not true. I was able to swap out my old 2GB DDR2 stick from my bricked Mini 9 and it was immediately recognized and functioned properly. Installation was fairly painless, although HP is very stingy on instructions on how to do it. If you are tech-savvy whatsoever it will not be an obstacle.

Happily recommended!

Are name brand lap tops really any better than a cheap lap top?

It depends on how one defines better and what one's requirements are. If the parts inside the non branded laptop like the CPU are the same as in a name brand laptop then there will be little difference. If one has fairly light needs such as word processing and web browsing then a cheap laptop is usually good enough.

Any Zeal Optics is the best brand of Ski Goggles. Why?

This on top of infused antifog technology, top notch construction and carbon fiber frames. They are not cheap! $120-$200, but they are worth it!
