    The wife and her mother bought two of these at Christmas, I would not recommend them to anyone. Seriously slow when running anything, I even found web browsing slower than it should be.

    That's very unfortunate. Thanks for letting us know!

    Uninstall the antivirus and it'll zip along nicely (bro got one, I helped him set it up.) It's very fast.

    it has Office too, right?

    I don't know how this performs, but i have a new atom convertible tablet/netbook with windows 8.1 (asus t100) and it fairly flies along! it won't beat my lappy, but it'll take the pepsi challenge with an ipad any day .. plus Office :-)


    picked it up for $250 is best buy in the US :cool:

    I don't want to ruin the thread but this yoke was selling for 149 quid 5 weeks ago. It's 169 at the moment.

    The performance of that netbook is shockingly poor due to the particular AMD CPU used. Literally no use other than watching the odd video and writing documents.

    I'm sorry for not letting you know! But I didn't think it was a good value even at 149 and not a big fan of AMD chips either. I had more against it than for. Didn't bother posting it.

    I bought it a couple of weeks ago (€191 delivered) to replace my old Samsung NC10.

    It's perfect for web browsing, watching movies and listening to music. Boots up quickly.

    Just remove the anti-virus and Ashampoo software and update it to Windows 8.1 - it makes a huge difference.

    It also comes packaged with Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint.

    The touchscreen is more useful than I thought it would be.

    The only negative is the keyboard - small shift keys take some getting used too.

    Very happy with my purchase.
