  1. It’s nearly perfect. The only thing that even comes close to a flaw on it is the fact that one of the rubber grip-feet is a tiny bit shorter than the rest, and that could just be a problem with mine. That problem is nearly unnoticeable, and this netbook has more or less become my primary machine. I only turn on my desktop when I have a heavy task that needs to be done.
