A Good little netbook (if you know what you are getting)
As I bought this on boxing day the review is for the reduced price of 179 GBP I payed for. I needed something smaller and lighter than my notebook but tablets lacked the features I needed like a physical keyboard..
I am happy with my purchase.
This is cheap netbook so don't expect anything about it to be exceptional (although the graphics chip is better than most integrated graphics cards on this price range). Build quality is good and the screen is great when used indoors (it is a glossy one and outdoors appears very washed out). Processing power is adequate for browsing the net, writing texts and watching movies but not much more but don't expect to play games or do video editing on this.
On the down side memory may be upgradable and there may be space for a better battery (under moderate usage it lasts slightly less than 2h) but we will never know as there is no way to open it up.
So if you are looking for a basic netbook for basic tasks, with good build quality...

Review 1 : Great spec, great price, a few poblems
I needed a laptop on a budget, I wanted more than a netbook, 4gigs of Ram, dual core and a 720p screen all while being 11 inches in size. This little girl fitted the bill perfectly and I was delighted to see it under my budget.
There are parts of this laptop I love, parts I can live with and reasons why I will be sending mine back.
Pros:
Super light, thin, well spec'd, 720p screen (which is bright, crisp and very nice), hdmi out, sd card slot , 2 usb slots, nice keyboard, quiet fan even when pushed hard and never got uncomfortably hot.
This really is a nice laptop. For the week I've had it, it's been great. It streams 1080p over hdmi to my 42 inch lcd tv even with the desktop extended to full 1080, this machine had no problems.
Cons:
Slightly glossy plastics (but the white version I got didn't show any marks unless you looked close), slight keyboard flex when pressed hard (but under normal use it's perfectly fine and...
Review 2 : So far so good
I'm not looking for a fast gaming machine. I just want something for browsing the internet, microsoft office (yet to purchase and install) and storing my music/itunes and photos.
The first few occassions I've used this it was a touch slow. That's because it was installing so many updates. Once it had stopped doing this it became much quicker. In addition changing the power options from 'balanced' to 'high performance' has made life much smoother.
The computer looks very slick. I have the white 500GB version. The keyboard is no issue. Having gone from my work 14" lenovo to this the difference takes a bit of getting used to, but not much. No issues from keyboard flex (how hard do people type?). It's light and ultra portable. I have bought a zip up neoprene case from Amazon for storage.
I've bought to complement this an external DVD writer. NB, because the USB ports are on either side of the machine, and the writer requires two USB points, this will require a USB extension...
