solid low-price machine February 13, 2010

Nice inexpensive laptop. I've only had it for a few days, so my comments are on functionality, not on quality or durability.
First, annoyances.
It has a webcam, but doesn't have a built-in microphone. I guess, it's a way to shave a few pennies off the cost, but quite annoying.
It has a DVD drive, but without Lightscribe. Obviously, less common feature than microphone - but I tried to label my system backup disks, and couldn't do it.
It has a multi-card reader. I had no problems with SD card and Memory Stick, but when I tried to put a Memory Stick Pro duo (which is shorter that regular MS) - it got stuck inside. To short to "click". Couldn't get it out without tweezers.
And, of course, there are no Windows disks. So, if I decide to re-partition the drive - I don't know if I can still install Windows.
Last among little annoyances - only two USB ports. Given that one is always taken by a mouse (I hate touchpads) - only one is left. Oh well - there is always a USB router.
Keyboard layout takes a little getting used to - there is a numeric pad and Ins, Del keys are duplicated - but no Home, End, PgUp or PgDn. Again, hard to find a word other than weird.
Once you get used to all these idiosyncrasies, it's actually a very nice machine. I like the keyboard responsiveness, webcam video is great quality, I haven't seen a 15.6" screen under $400, and it's not heavy.
OS came with a bunch of trial versions (Norton, Office, games); so if you are like me, you spend the first evening uninstalling all the junk. But, I guess, that's how manufacturers keep Windows price low (if not $0) - so I don't mind.
My wife said that it "looks cheap"; but (a) I have no idea what it means in relation to a laptop, and (b) it *is* cheap.
