I bought this computer about 9 months ago, and it has been the best buying decision that I have made on a computer. The size is a big factor. It's a 12" computer, but it also has an optical drive (it's optional anyway). So it's small but versatile. You can get it with 80GB, 120GB, and 250GB hard drives, so the expandability is fantastic. Mine is 120 GB Hard Drive. It's got an Intel dual core 1.86 GHz processor, so it's pretty fast for a netbook/ultraportable sized laptop. The new 2540p has a processor that it 2.1 to 2.5 GHz the newer version is much faster, but I've had no issues with mine as it relates to speed. I have 4GB of RAM in mine, but you can expand up to 8GB (which is more than enough). The Processor bus speed is 1066MHz and the RAM bus speed is 800MHz, so not perfectly ideal (matching bus speeds would be better to avoid bottle-necking), but again as it relates to speed... not much of an issue. The screen is FANTASTIC!!! No glare at all, and great resolution! It's no commercial art quality screen, but more than functional. Great for watching movies and television online. The keyboard is HUGE! I can't believe that they fit one this size on an ultraportable! I love it. I will probably buy the upgraded 2540p when this one has had it (but don't expect that to be for a long time). I have MIcrosoft Windows XP on mine (it's faster than Windows Vista and Windows 7), so mine is configured for business functionality and not multimedia ultra-userfriendly. I still think it's great. I LOVE this computer!!!!
