I bought this unit supplementing my ACER aspire 1640. Issues were with the weight and size of that in order to make it portable. Battery backup shows 7 hours but I like the retailers under-promise of 5 hours. It works for more than that in-spite of 3 tasks. The speakers and camera are excellent, though the screen automatically flips behind even while lifting so needs to be closed. Somehow it shuts with a thud too.
Display 1024x600 gives a prompt in dwg viewer-uncomfortable with big top menus. But it surely meets my requirements. Keyboard, though designed big has 2 issues. Firstly it's panned left, so initially you will end up typing keys on immediate right. Small blue led for caps lock button. Initially the color is very repulsive-gives a incubator feeling but set more in red green tones-loses camera and photo quality
I would have loved to spend some more money on add ons-namely GPS, 3G, windows 7 exchange. Even the McCafee is 90 days. Touchpad is better also with scroll up and down button. Need to learn the skills to control that. Difficult to use the mouse as a common screen and sync-though sugar sync feels good.
1st month-the right side start button is not starting the PC. It has to be persistently pressed 6-10 times then it starts. The dealer's boys say that it has to be given to company whereas the dealer says to leave it in his premises for half an hour. Whom should I trust the dealer sahab or his boys? I am badly stranded.
