Excellent

Was very happy with this product, I think that what it is capable of doing is amazing, and if you only use a computer for the basic browse and data entry, this is compact simple to use, with an exceptionally good battery life. Only one problem that i have come across so far, and that is that when the battey is running low it becomes hard to use the cursor pad , its as thought the mouse does its own thing, but runs fine when battery is good - plus the keyboard is easy to adapt to .

I bought the 701 when it came out and thought it was great... Then the 901 was released. larger screen, faster chip, more memory, larger drive and Windows XP Home pre-installed. What an upgrade.
