I don't like to return things, and I don't like to write negative reviews. Well, doing both..
I thought it would be a good idea to leave my 4.5 years old IBM T42 at home and trave with smaller, lighter and brand new Aspire One. Wrong. The touchpad of Aspire One stopped working just a few days after I purchased it. I swear I didn't drop the netbook or abuse it in any form. The touchpad just stopped working. Fortunately I brought an external mouse. If you happend to see an idiot at the airport using mouse on the surface of airport seat during the past holiday season, that could be me. My 4.5 year old IBM never has such a problem. Touchpad failure beats the purpose of netbook.
Two other minor issues. If you leave the netbook idle for a long time, or close the cover, it goes to sleep mode, which is good. However, it is not intuitive to me how to wake it up later. My T42 will wake up by just a touch on any key or mouse. I cleaned the surface with a tissue -- not the softest kind, but it is a paper tissue. Guess what? A piece of the beauitiful blue paint was sactched out. It is a little piece, but obvious enough for anyone to notice.
I don't know if Amazon will put 15% penalty for this return. If it does, this is equivlent to a two dollar per day rental of a netbook without touchpad. not a good buy.
