I just thought you guys should know that I had a Best Buy giftcard so I bought this laptop to take when I travel.
I was looking at netbooks but this guy was only $250 and at 14" it is lightweight and portable but still fully functional. The full size keyboard works great and has nice keys. It also has a card reader and cd/dvd burner. The display is good. My other laptop is a first gen macbook from 06 and this notebook has 3x the hard drive space and 2x as much ram.
It came with full windows 7 but I usually boot Ubuntu and it runs great. Ubuntu has workspace switching like OSX and a load of other features that make it a solid alternative OS.
The specs aren't amazing compared to other current model laptops but for $250 you can't go wrong.
They're a little tough to find and I ended up having to search on my phone and stop in the middle of an 1800 mile road trip to get this one.
