So far so good

Just got it today. It is pinker than it seems in the picture (I thought it looked sort of lavender). It's nice and tiny and light. The battery helps position the computer so that it sits up off the work surface and can breathe. The Windows 7 thing seems to be great so far: a lot better than Windows Vista. I'm not sure if it says anywhere in the description, but it comes with Word installed, which makes my life as a student much easier. I'm not a computer expert by any means, but from what I can tell, this easily will serve its purpose as an extra machine to take notes on and take to the library. It's very quick on the Internet, as well. A great deal for the money...as far as I can see.
A nice cheap computer for itunes and internet

Huge fan of Lenovo computers. I have one for work and they are very strong and reliable. I'm day 5 with this netbook as so far it's doing exactly what I need it to do. I bought mine with Windows 7 starter and it's not too bad. I am upgrading the memory from 1 GB to 2 GB as it's a little too slow for my taste.
Overall I think it's a good second computer for internet and travel.
Nice netbook but little windows 7

I purchased this mainly to pay bills and search the web. It is nice and light and easy to carry. The front cover is glossy and scratches easy so you may want a cover. The color is Mauve one review said it was pink but the only pink I see is inside by the keyboard and it is a small amount. I am dissapointed in the windows 7 because they have installeda starter verson that doesn't let you do any customizing you have to upgrade in order to do this . Upgrade is another 79.99. You can not change the wallpapers with out this upgrade and they only provide one. I think it would be better if they made this was more up front . I'm thinking about sending mine back for this reason and return it for a small laptop that has the full windows 7 version.

I am a power computer user with up to date laptop and desktop (both Dell), but my wife needed a small & light weight computer for her retirement. I surprised her with a Lenovo. It comes with 1 GB of RAM and a 160 GB HD. The HD is large enough but after 6 months of slow and sluggish switching programs (MS Office to MS Word) we added a 2 GB RAM simm and that turned a good little computer into a great little computer. The battery does last and last, my wife gets 6 hours of untethered use and that is great. My high power laptop barley gets 90 minutes. My suggestion is go for the Lenovo.
One side note...when I purchased this I had MS Office (Small Business) that was allowed a 2nd installation. I wanted to put it in the Lenovo but with NO CD ROM, I was up against a wall. I called Lenovo and their (overseas) tech support wanted me to spend $150 to get help installing a new copy (it comes with an intro version of MS Office, but you need to pay for its installation). My solution was simple and easy and, the best part, there was no extra cost. I opened the CD ROM on my laptop by exploring the disk. I then copied all the files (Control A) to a Flash Drive. I took the Flash Drive to the Lenovo and installed as if it were a CD ROM. It worked flawlessly and I used the same technique with all the software I used.
If it wasn't for the tiny keyboard, this thing would have been 4 to 5 stars

Reviewer: D. Weng,
I wish I had phyically seen this netbook before buying it. The individual keys are this netbook is just too tiny compares to other netbooks. I also own a HP mini 1010 netbook, and this idealpad's keys are only about 75% in size compares to the HP. It makes very difficult to type. The overall built quality seems decent and the screen is bright enough. The unit also does not seem to run hot and it stays very quite. The 6 cell battery that comes with the unit is a big plus.
Bottom line, if you are not going to do alot the typing, then this unit is fine. However, if you do, then you better off consider some other brands.
