I've often lamented my other laptop's unwillingness to go bright to plugged-in levels on battery (yes, it eats more power), but this goes sharp. Keyboard is decent. My hands are normal man size (?) but I'm getting used to it. Backspace could be larger. Single speaker is pretty terrible. Not loud, don't think about listening to music on it. It has a headphone jack, though. Restore feature is nice addition. I have not tried it out, though. This gets three stars because it is capital S.L.O.W. Now, granted apparently these 1.6 ghz CPUs are more like a Celeron of half the mhz or a bit more, but I just found in general using this on Windows Starter 7 to be unenjoyable. Everything lags. Loading Internet Explorer takes too long. Google Chrome takes too long. Opening new tabs within the browser is quick but then loading each one is slow. Scrolling skips from time to time as something else thinks about loading. Go into control panel and watch the progress bar. Literal attery.
