A tiny companion. Small, light, affordable: pretty much all old-school netbooks fit the bill in that regard. To make them truly usable, they also need to be equipped with good input devices, a decent display and feature a long battery life. Despite the fact that Asus' netbook offers a good price-to-value ratio, the user has to deal with a few drawbacks as well.

May 7, 2020 (Covid-19 period). Still using this laptop, came here with the same. No problems except speakers long gone and keyboard replaced once. Using Manjaro linux, never touched Windows yet, the laptop doesn't know such an OS exists! ;D
Forget to mention about the battery, THROWN AWAY long time ago.
