"I'm a "guru". This is a great deal. Sold under various names by several companies, this is a great combination of features and internal components for the price. Key is the upgradeable Socket s1g1 cpu, and std ATI HD3200 graphics. Any of the AMD "TL" mobile dual core processors will plug right into this unit giving you performance unmatched by other laptops approaching $1000.00 or more. Many of the TL cpu's are now available from $20.00 on up, with clock speeds running from 1600 up to 2400mghz. Anything using the IBM HD4500 graphics chip is substantially outperformed by the ATI graphics in this laptop. Even with the stock single core TF-20 the laptop is capable of handling day to day std usage with aplomb. With the TL dual core's installed, it becomes an amazing deal. Plus, unlike many laptops, this one has excellent internal cooling with no hotspots. It also has a very serviceable keyboard WITH a number pad AND a pair of very useful buttons for enabling/disabling the touchpad and wifi instantly. The speakers are adequate, clear, but tinny with little base, however sound out thru the earphone/stereo jack is excellent.
Screen color, speed, resolution and text size is about optimal for 'laptop' viewing in a recliner. Some units even come with "N" based wifi. Though the chassis is plastic, it is well designed and NOT prone to twisting or distortion. All in all a simply excellent consumer laptop. At the sale prices available, it is the best current laptop deal of which I am aware. Get a laptop cooler with fans blowing UP, an auxiliary USB 2.0 expansion module (for more USB PORTS) and nudge the memory up to 3 or 4 gigabytes and both you and your laptop will be happy for a very long time."
