Where I live, it's on sale now. I plan to buy one, but I'm not sure if it's powerful enough. How's Windows 7? Is it fluent or rather sluggish? How about office, internet, etc.? Does it feel smooth?
@pinkchong15 I don't have any issues with the speed, I have running all the time, IE9, Thunderbird, Skype, and normally webmatrix and Word or Outllook and it runs fine, not sluggish, sometimes when viewing video in IE in a webpage it can have the oddl jump, but switching to full screen solves it, but I think this may be more a problem with IE9 than the laptop, but not have a chance to test it out yet with another browser.
@FastWieJesus Yes, we use in several times a week to skype my realatives in spain, it has a low light web cam with infrared built in so you get a good picture even in a poorly lit room.
I've not had it run to 0% yet but with constant wifi browsing, running outlook and firefox, its lasted 4 hours and was showing 15% remaining, I think It would go to 5 before it dies, one thing I have noticed is the windows power meter is useless, 1 minute it shows 1 hour, then the next minute it shows 3 hours, Perhaps it will get more accurate in time.

Do you think video conversations using skype are working well?
Thank you

Have you tested how long your battery lasts?
