I bought it for my mom and she reports that the battery life lasts all day for her, it's very lightweight, and the response for the computing she's doing (Internet focused activity: mail, research, etc.) is excellent; she can't tell the difference between it and her regular desktop system. The overall build quality of the unit is excellent and she'd recommend it to anyone else looking for a netbook. If you're looking for something to fly through those massive spreadsheets or play a graphics-intensive game, you'd be better off getting a machine aimed at that segment of the market.
