The laptop is loaded with features useful to someone on the go. The small size and light weight means you can toss this machine in a book bag and head off to the library or the coffee shop without feeling as though you're lugging a heavy load around. The battery life is more than acceptable for these kinds of trips. The laptop does not seem to get very hot under normal tasks like word processing or looking around the Internet. Immediately after receiving the unit and charging the battery, I installed eeebuntu on the machine via USB thumb-drive. I now have a wonderful little machine that I can take anywhere to do what I need. I'm debating whether or not to pick up one of the clear protective cases that snaps on the machine to protect it from scratches.
