I bought this for one of my daughters as backup when her desktop was trashed by malware. I had reservations because other reviewers complained about the touchpad. I have always had a personality clash with touchpads, but decided to buy it anyway. Sure enough, the touchpad is very frustrating under Windows XP, so I bought a USB mouse, which works well.

I have used Linux for the last several years, so decided to do a dual-boot install of Ubuntu, using a pre-release copy of Ubuntu 10.4 (Lucid) from a pen drive. The installation went smoothly, and surprise! surprise! the touchpad works very well under Linux. Because Linux can read/write Windows files, it can be used to repair a trashed Windows.

I rebooted Windows to make sure that it would come up OK (it did) and discovered that if I use my little finger, the touch pad is usable, though still frustrating. Maybe practice will make things better.

The machine is faster than I expected it to be, and the screen is surprisingly easy to read. Really enjoy using it.
