$466.00 Est. at Amazon

from Laura, www.newegg.com
videos look great, music and podcasts play nicely with speakers or earphones.there's a good chance i'll upgrade the hd to 500g, and move up to 2g ram, but it runs just fine right out of the box.
from www.amazon.com
i spent several weeks reading these reviews and others, and also watched many videos on youtube regarding it and others i was considering.
from www.amazon.com
it makes a great word processor, web browser, and player for dvd-quality videos.

$637.00 Est. at Amazon

from AlmostDone, www.newegg.com
same goes for video editing software and other cpu intensive applications.superpi takes 2+ minutes running at 1.3 ghz on this, but it only takes 1 minute on my older ulv pentium m running at 1.2 ghz.
from Pseudothink, www.newegg.com
i have no problem watching youtube music videos with it resting on my couch, though.
from www.amazon.com
don't even think about gaming on this computer, it already has trouble running sd videos.
from www.amazon.com
also it depends on what level of screen brightness you need, but i have gotten 3-4 hours of battery use constantly watching tutorial videos over the internet with the screen brightness up to max.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
