i’ve researched a lot of netbooks/laptops in the last several weeks before i purchase this little powerhouse. i’m extremely picky when it comes to keyboard feel and mouse movement and almost didn’t purchase this laptop because of some of the forum statements i’ve read, but in the end, the great price, no tax, and free shipping made it worth a venture. i am so glad i took the chance.
pros:
* great screen. the resolution is awesome for such a small laptop.
* keyboard feels great. solid and the keys themselves have a nice bounce to them.
* 6 cell battery. though it sticks outs (see cons), it’s nice to have the battery life. i’m still going on my first charge and i’ve gotten about 4 hours out of it. plus the air flow below the laptop keeps it running cooler.
* super light weight. even w/ the 6 cell. slightly over 3 if i would have to guess.
* runs really cool. it doesn’t seem to get very hot at all, but that maybe due to the 6 cell battery.
* built in mic works great. sounds good over skype.
* hdmi output looks amazing on my 52′ lcd. the hdmi also outputs sound w/ the video stream.
* full windows 7 runs nice and fast.
cons:
* 6 cell battery. adds about 3/4 of inch to the full height, but only in the back.
* the gesture touchpad. i don’t like the gestures and the fact that it doesn’t have a scroll section on the bottom and side of the pad, but i’m starting to learn how to use the gestures, so we’ll see if it’s a pain in a week.
* finger prints. the cover is a finger print magnet, especially in black.
* cheap replacement batteries are hard to find. cheap being the key word.
* power cable is a full 3 prong block power supply, so it’s not small.
* built in camera is kind of crappy and grainy compared to a lot of web cams on the market.
* the dell tool dock is annoying and pops over tops all my windows, but it is easy to turn off.

I’m really enjoying this little computer. The 4G of RAM is exactly what I was hoping for in a NetBook computer. The only thing that I would have wanted changed was the processor speed. This has a 1. 33GHz processor and most others are 1. 67GHz or higher. Other than that. . . I’ve had an easy time installing all of the software that I wanted to install on it with no troubles. Boot time is minimal and the time it takes to power down is very quick. I love the size, screen resolution, and weight. I’m very happy with it and have already recommended it to others.
Finally, I’ve ordered many things from Amazon and I have not had an issue yet. I was able to get free shipping on this computer since I ordered it through Amazon. I feel very confident that I will receive what I’ve ordered from Amazon in the time they say it will be there and without any hiccups.

The early press reviews loved the performance but hated the track pad. Well the track pad issue seems fixed you need to go to the Dell website and install the updated drivers. The trackpad once you set it for your personal taste works fine. The hidden buttons on it though are harder than most to press. The specs on Amazon are correct but mine also can with the 6 cell battery (a Dell $120. 00 option)I’m am extremely pleased with this purchase. For the money this is a bargain in the Culv Ultralight and thin category. Rating: 5 / 5

It’s hard to find detailed info about this laptop, even from Dell’s website. The specs certainly measure up to the competion at Amazon’s fantastic price, and if you order it similarly equipped direct from Dell expect to pay about $150 more. Other reviews of the computer have been helpful, but compare carefully to other small notebooks on the market before you buy. (I returned this one. )LIKES:Overall fit and finish: excellent, although a fingerprint magnetPrice: best 1. 3ghz dual core notebook bargain at the moment (expect to pay about $100 more for comparable performance)Excellent screen, although only 11. 6″ compared to competition (see below)Windows 7 DISLIKES:A 3 cell battery would have kept the sleek, slim

This was offered during the holidays as one of Amazon’s daily deals. To get a Dell laptop with 4GB of RAM and a very large laptop hard drive for 449. 00 was an outstanding purchase. It was purchased to replace a larger Dell laptop that was heavier. While the old one was great for school, the new lighter weight 1100 is perfect for travelling and taking to the library. The new Windows 7 that came in the computer is also an outstanding upgrade. While XP is great, and Vista only so-so, Windows 7 is a step up from XP and miles above Vista. Overall, this was a wonderful computer offered through Amazon and I would purchase it again without even thinking about it.
