Pros:

* Lightweight and portable
* FireWire port for connecting professional audio/video devices rarely seen in laptops in this price range.
* S-Video output is also a very rare port; you can plug into just about any TV.
* Altec Lansing stereo speakers sound good everywhere.
* Built-in stereo microphones are high quality and great for Skype.
* 1st generation Intel dual-core CPU more powerful than netbooks, Pentium-Ms and even some Pentium dual-cores.

Cons:

* No Webcam
* No Bluetooth

Problems:

* No hard disk.
* Battery backup ~1hr if charged overnight/whole day otherwise 5-10 mins.
* DVDRW may not work (not tested).
* Touchpad buttons slightly unresponsive (tap is OK).

Best used for:

* Mobile multimedia workstation. Fit this with a 7200RPM or SSD drive and you have a cheap lightweight mobile audio/video recording studio.

The problems are not major problems. Absolutely working and running fine (I am using with pendrive OS). Cosmetic condition 8/10 because of brand new original keyboard. Memory, processor and video checked and stress-tested. All ports tested working fine.

Please do not compare with netbooks, Atom or Pentium-M CPUs - this is much more powerful than those. Performance is on par with latest low-end ultraportables. If everything were alright this would sell for 15,000Tk. Bought and used in Singapore.
