I never envisaged buying a netbook but my mum aged 65 bought one and I was so impressed that I went out and bought the same one as she had. This is perfect for someone who enjoys surfing the net. My children use it for MSN, bebo, facebook etc and it is just brilliant. I am not too good at the technical talk but this has significant memory. We have hundreds of pictures on it. Dozens of music albums and a few films. Nowhere near its full capacity yet. It is very very easy to use. My mum has now got a bigger laptop as she was having difficulty seeing the screen but still has her netbook for her grandchildren to use when they go and visit. THe keyboard seems small initially but you soon get used to it and it is set up the same as other qwerty keyboards so nothing new to learn there. This netbook has a built in webcam as well which is perfect for the MSN mad teenagers. The one downfall that I have to point out is that it does not have windows. There are other applications that can be downloaded but for me they are not the same. So for a computer that is for browsing and networking I think this is a great buy and wouldn't be without it now. Probably not the best buy for someone who wants/ needs the full range of applications that a laptop or personal computer has but great starter computer or secondary one.
