This is one of the first notebooks to come with long-anticipated AMD Fusion chips. I was waiting for them for quite some time, as I could not make myself buy an Atom netbook, even as they were becoming dirt-cheap. This particular model has a dual-core 1.6Ghz E350 CPU/GPU with AMD Radeon HD 6310M video card (integrated with CPU). Overall this CPU/GPU combination is amazingly powerful, most games are absolutely playable, HD Video running smoothly, and normal tasks like Web browsing, emails, office documents editing performed very fast. In fact Word starts almost instantly, in less than 1 second. Overall PC startup time is less than a minute inc login which is pretty impresive for Windows netbook.
Considering it's still the size/price of a typical (good) netbook we are talking here it's just amazing. In fact the specs of this machine are better than of my desktop (which is not new I admit).
The build quality is exceptional, with sleek design, quality almost full-size keyboard (I think letter keys are full-size, they only fiddled with arrows and enter buttons). Keyboard is the best around - I tried dozens of note/netbooks at PC World and other shops to compare (as I am going to use it for a lot of typing). Even more expensive models like Sony VAIO have inferior keyboards. Trackpad could be larger but it's OK. Glossy cover is a finger-print magnet (it is very hard to find matte cover on a netbook) but thanks to patterned design it's not so visible. Go off easily as well.
I was a bit conserned about glossy display but in fact it's not so bad as I mostly use it at the evening in a dimmed room so it's brighter than matte display and not so much reflective. Colours and contrast are very punchy, good for video/tv watching. Now having used it for some time I am not sure I would swap it for a matte screen.
It comes with Windows 7 Premium 64bit installed, which is much better than Starter edition, and you can upgrade memory up to 8GB, which will boost performance even further (if you really want to). Not too many extra software installed which is good, as most got deleted right away.
I think it is a perfect on-the-road netebook, light, stylish, with great battery life, and exceptionally fast.

Bought to replace a two year old Atom Netbook- wouldn't play HD, and Flash videos would simply kill it. You would have to wait for minutes to close a tab with an errant flash video! I was looking towards an Asus U36 for £700 but just could not justify it when I don't game heavily and just want a small computer that cna run flash videos. Then I saw this- and ordered straight away.
This laptop wwill play 720p Youtube and will have a great bash at 1080p Youtube. A little bit stuttery at times but acceptable! Flash videos do not slow to a crawl. Snappy in use. I installed Portal and it runs silky smooth- better than I recall the XBox 360 version running- I am stupidly impressed that I can do some light gaming on this machine.
Bloatware isn't too bad. Just McCaffe Trial and some Lenovo junk. You cna disable the HDD shock protection and also adjust it- I've turned it off, never ha d aproblem before with other laptops. I noticed the screen brightens itself, but this is the 'Varia-Brightness' function in the Catalyst Control Centre, accessible through the start menu, named 'CCC'. Word of advice with any computer- Run> MSCONFIG, disable everything you don't need. Normally you just need antivirus, touchpad driver. Thats it.
Keyboard is fantastic with no flex, it is 98% full size but I can type on it fine. Screen is bright and sharp as hell. The high resolution almost makes text TOO small but a fiddle with the cleartype rendering seems to have made it comfortable for me. The screen's brightness uniformity is not great though. Black screen, the bottom is almost towards white. Not noticable when you have colours on the screen but perhaps an issue for perfectionists. Don't care at this price!
It has bluetooth, too. Very light, overall a nice size. Glossy lid is a fingerprint magnet. Construction feels really solid and it looks quite stylish. Even the bottom vents are a pattern, rather than just 'slats'. Battery has lasted me about three hours with some installing programs, running a few minutes of portal, and general faffing about. Less then my netbook but good enough in my opinion. The battery does not sit flush with the bottom of the machine, and instead, it bumps out a bit. Which means that when the machine rests in a flat surface, it tilts towards you a little bit.
I am really impressed with this machine. I am speed typing on it, and after a day of ownership, I am very very impressed. For the price, this is golden. The keyboard is beautiful, the screen is good it can run some games, it is an excellent size, it is quiet, and it looks stylish. Recommended.

I have had this netbook for about 2 weeks and the performance is great. I choose to upgrade to the full 8GB of RAM as it was cheap to do and I also benefitted with an additional 2GB on my other work laptop as a result!
There is a fair amount of "bloatware" on - as you would expect, and I am not far of completing a fresh install of win7 Premium with Norton 360 as my preferred AV.
In terms of build quality, I can't fault it. The keyboard is really nice both in terms of design and feel. The screen angle isn't too bad and as I mainly use in the home I've not really suffered any glare. A small netbook that happily runs Oblivion at medium quality is no mean feat (and that's still with all the bloatware).
So - my recommendation to anyone considering buying an 11" netbook is for a great price is to give this serious consideration. Its great value for the money, runs perfectly well, includes premium out the box and not the poorer "starter" cousin on most netbooks in this price range and feels/looks great.
A very happy customer!
