i bought this thing from staples because it was either this or a refurbed thinkpad. i figured i'd go with the new pc, so i got this.
i used it for a while with the installed win 7 and it worked well enough. after trying a few linux live distros, i settled on linux mint. i get about 6 hr battery life on the win 7, and about the same with linux mint. everything works out of the box in linux mint except wifi. the fix for that is that you connect to the internet via NIC and download the module for the wifi, and then enable it. that's it. other than that, it's no muss, no fuss.
i have no complaints about the performance or resolution or anything. comes out of suspend and hibernate well, runs fast enough for a netbook, has a lot of hdd space, boots fast, etc.
short review, but i tested everything and it all worked. so great investment IMHO

I bought it directly from DELL (the only place I could find a netbook of this size with Win.XP).
In short:
The good - sexy looking, well built, sounds surprisingly well for a netbook of this size.
The bad - touch pad has a mind of it's own. Can't upgrade operating system (XP home to XP pro).
The ugly: For your own sanity DO NOT CALL DELL TECH. SUPPORT!

first of all this has no fan so theirs almost no sound with this net book
construction is very sturdy compared to other netbooks.
the battery is built in, not sticking way out like other net book brands.
i get around 11 hours on a full charge.
sturdy keyboard. it seems like this net book was built out of a rock.

It has a very solid structure, far different than many others netbooks that have a plastic body. Design is nice, it's a pretty and sexy machine. I wouldn't say fantastic because of its strange rear "increment". Anyway, better than the Acer Aspire. Keyboard is OK.
But, when it comes to performance... well, everytime you restart it or open Internet Explorer or Microsoft Office 2007, you'll remember that your old desktop machine performs better than this new little one and that you should have spent a few more bucks for a Dual-Core or a Core2Duo machine with more RAM.
