Great Computer - Not happy with Windows 7 Starter
I bought this computer basically for browsing the Internet and doing other minor tasks, listening to music, creating documents, watching TV and Movies etc. I haven’t run any labor intensive programs yet (I’ve only had it for a couple days). I was going to play around with [...]

Acer beats HP & Asus in build quality & ergonomics

(4) the standard English keyboard layout
..and it comes in blue
Having visited 8 different retail stores and [...]

PERFECT memory upgrade for NETBOOK owners
I have never had any problems with Crucial Memory modules — and this holds true for this 2GB 800MHz DDR2 PC2-6400 laptop memory.
I recently purchased this to upgrade my Toshiba NB205 to 2GB of memory. Installing it is a piece of cake… just remove the one that’s [...]

Buzz Kill!
Sony has made a big mistake in how they have represented this net book or mini Vaio. Sony evidently can’t produce a netbook style computer with competitive battery life and ship it with the monster high capacity battery that is competitive and lasts 7 hours but ruins the sleek look of the computer. Even [...]

Press Function-F11 to turn on the WiFi
I bought this for a friend and have been setting up software and updates for them over the past couple of days. I think the styling of the HP Mini is much nicer than the MSI Winds, but I’m getting battery life of 4 hours and change on [...]

A Pleasant Surprise!
I admit to being a Gateway fan and have bought only Gateway computers since 1986. But, when I ordered this computer, I was having second thoughts because I was thinking the chip wouldn’t be fast enough and 2 Gigs of DDR2 memory wouldn’t be sufficient to run multi-media software. But the computer [...]

“HyperX” timing will make no difference, but 2GB in 1 slot is nice
This RAM’s speed is 3-3-3-8 (CL3). This is tighter than most DDR2/533 RAM, which is 4-4-4-12 (CL4).
The tighter RAM timing _may_ help a _flaky_ laptop run without crashing, or if you are trying to overclock your laptop.
A great product if you have [...]
