Review Summary

this is the best deal of all of the netbooks.. it has great specs, good speed, nice webcam.. etc…

the only disadvantage is that it has poor cooling system just like lennovo. bought one yesterday and after 30 mins of using, it hangs or dead and when ive touched the back of the netbook its so hot as hot as the oven toaster. i hope that acer could fix this fan problem soon
