Does anyone have one of these netbooks? Any problems I should watch for? I pick mine up tomorrow (had to order in the colour I wanted) I was looking for something cheap and cheerful for uni for internet browsing and word processing and this seemed perfect. I have a p.c for anything I may need a disk drive etc for.

They're pretty crap for word processing due to the small keyboard. The trackpads aren't that great for scrolling throgh loads of text either. But if it's not your main computer then they're ok i guess.

Would just like to add though, as far as netbooks go, the keyboard is better than most

Unless your a geek you wont even notice the track pad

Took me ages to get used to using a netbook but once you get the hang it feels like any other laptop to me

Memory isn't great though so not something you would do much downloading on

Thanks Kerry, put my mind at ease a bit

Got it now and for some reason, facebook is loading rather slow...are these wee machines quite slow that way? All other websites are fine.

Trackpad is a bit odd but i'll get used to it and the smaller keyboard hopefully. Its just that the clicky buttons are part of the trackpad which I dont really like but again, I'll get used to it.

I love the colour though, it's pretty green and cute as a button.
