I have loved this netbook. The battery life is great, the appearance of the netbook is great. I love the textured cover. I got it in chocolate brown. It’s a great color. I think it’s very easy to type on, and the portability is great. It fits into my purse with no problem. I am not that knowledgable as far as the specifics of any computer, but I have found no problems working this computer. It runs quickly, even after I installed the whole Microsoft Office system. I would definitely recommend this netbook to anyone. It is easy to use, great in appearance, and very portable.

It is so much fun using the Garmin 305. I bought it a year ago in order to push my motivation since I train by myself.
Once you adjust the screens according to your personal needs, It becomes easy to use, very friendly and accurate.
It’s a big watch, but it’s not heavy at all and it fits very comfortably around the wrist. And you can check the screen easily while you are running.
Useful for all types of trainig: Speed work, pace run, repetitions, everything can be programmed in advanced, and you can even run either against the watch, with the virtual partner feature or against your own previous runs. Excelent aid for a race. You are able to check your pace per kilometer and your heart rate without pushing any button, with the autolap function, and from there, adjust your effort in relation to the length of that race.
The only problem I had was at downloading my training programs and courses from the computer into the watch, It gave me some headaches, and I never managed to do It right, the computer wouldn’t recognize the information when I tried to upload it back again, so I decided to ignore that feature. Other than that and in spite of that problem, I love my watch, and I highly recomend it.

I have only had this laptop a few days and will update if I discover major problems.

I decided to rate it now since so many people have trouble with the touchpad and cursor. These issues can be resolved in two ways. I had major touchpad problems when I first used the laptop. You have to go into Control Panel and adjust the touchpad. I adjusted it to be the most sensitive as possible. Once that was done, it became an EXCELLENT touchpad.

The same thing for the sound card. You have to adjust the sound or you get mediocre sound. After adjusting it, the sound is far better than any I have had on a laptop before.

As for the screen jumping around and cursor problems. I found that this laptop works better with Firefox as the browser (latest version). Internet Explorer had the screen issues and some odd cursor behavior. Firefox was perfect. I like Firefox better anyway.

This computer does not have a DVD drive but you can pick up excellent ones from Amazon rather cheaply that rewrite and play. I added a generic DVD player and setup was a breeze. I did not have to use the driver to set it up nor did I have to find a codec online to add to it. I just plugged, did an easy setup and played.

Pros of this computer:
Thin, lightweight. Less than 4 lbs.
Great keyboard.
Has 3 USB ports, 1 HDMI, a VGA port that runs a projector just fine.
Great keyboard. Nice touch and keys are not too cramped or small.
Wonderful display. Great LED Backlighting for watching movies.
Internet browsing is quite peppy. I have an average connection speed at home yet this computer was considerably faster and smoother than my Dell Netbook.
When sitting directly on my lap, it does not get overly hot. You can use this laptop without a laptop desk.

Cons:
I could have used 4 USB ports.
I hate Norton Security and it is on it and I will have to get rid of it.

As I have said, if I have any problems in the next few months, I will update this review. Right now, I am thrilled with the lapto
