at first i was a little apprehensive about buying a 'mini' laptop. i only bought it to be able to check e-mail, do pictures, etc. i was very surprised at the quality of the computer, and how easy it was to install everything. when you plug it into a wireless router, it knows what to do (setup wizard). it also has a wizard for just about every other thing you want to do with it: usb device ( camera, video recorder, memory card for your camera, etc. ) if i had to complain about one thing it would be the life of the battery; that doesn't last very long. but for me, i don't use it for long at a time anyway. when i do want to use it for awhile, i just plug it up to the ac adapter that it came with. i did think it was neat that it didn't come with a physical manual, but it is in the startup menu. but just to be sure, i copy/pasted it in an e-mail to myself just incase i have a problem and can't turn it on, i can still view it from my home computer.
