Model I8B11D4Operating System Windows2000/XP/Windows7Processor Intel Atom D425 1.8GHZDisplay 10.2'' Wide-screen 1280*600 WXGAGraphic Processor Intel GMA X3150System Memory DDRII 1GMax Memory Maximun to 2GMemory Slot 1?So-DIMMHard Drive SATA 160G (250G/320G)Max Storage Maximun to 320GIf you aren't planning to play games, this looks like a good laptop. The price I saw was around $200 which is a very good price for a computer netbook. Max Memory is only 2 GB -- when you do buy this computer, make sure you go to crucial.com or something and purchase an extra stick.With only 1 GB RAM, you might see some slow activity if you plan to load several applications at once. Make sure you keep your Windows 7 disk defragged and routinely run antispyware protection.That storage capacity is quite a lot for such a small computer but it will probably be able to play some movies and music, so not bad.Battery only lasts around 3 hours. For a regular notebook, that'd be fine. For a netbook, that's a slightly negative review, as it should last longer.But it's probably a pretty powerful little PC.I doubt you'll have a problem doing anything you want on it. As I said, the only thing you probably won't be doing is playing something like StarCraft 2.Always fun buying a new computer. If you're going to go for it, do it. But shop around first.. for a cheaper price. Don't pay over $250 for it. Try to find it for around $200 -- which is what I saw.
