Mobile Broadband ; Decent battery life ; Generous storage

Poor usability ; Screen could be brighter

A decent enough Netbook, just not the best value one on the market

HSDPA modem, price

Build quality, gets hot, poor keyboard, reversed keys

Otherwise the performance is fairly similar to rival netbooks thanks to the similar run down of stats. Most regular office, email and internet programs run with no problems and you’ll have no problems with most general tasks whilst out and about.

good introduction to PCs.

Too small for the enthusiast but fine for a compouter illiterate like me.

It was a recon unit, after having used it for a few times, found that it keeps jumping to other programs when you are typing, ie every time you tyoe the letter e it goes to explorer, and if you just touch the v or c key you get a whole line of letters....

when it works it is fine

we have various problems with this netbook ,dontb know if its because it is a recon ,we bought another one at the same time ,a full price one and that is fine ,so its up to you ,if you want to try it .

solid,robust netbook which I found very easy to use. It has a reasonable processor speed. The netbook I received was totally unmarked and looked as new.

Will only run on battery power for about an hour.I was surprised that the netbook didn't come with a power cable.

for a reconditioned machine, it looked and perfored like new.

none

Being able to insert sim card into it and connect to the internet via the mobile phone network .

Some of the lettering on the case top came off after a week.
