I love it and as you mentioned never feel it to be underpowered for the tasks suggested above. That said the advice I give to all my friends asking about my netbook is this . . . Do not buy anything smaller than a 10" netbook. My 9" has a keyboard that is too small to use easily and hurts the user experience. 10" netbooks generally have a 92% full keyboard and are much easier to type on. Also worth keeping this info in mind while shopping. http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/laptop-reliability-survey-asus-and-toshiba-win-hp-fails/ Trey I have a Dell Mini 9 (Since rep,aced with the Mini 10).
