Pros:
Good size: It’s really easy to carry around. I hate carrying my full size laptop back and forth to work. This one slips nicely into my bag.

Battery life: With power saving options turned on, will get just over 5.5 hrs from the battery.

Weight: Light, but still feels substantial, so it doesn’t feel like it’s going to fall apart.

Cons:
The shift key on the right hand side of the keyboard is in an awkward place. On the plus side, the rest of the keyboard works great, and I can still type comfortably with it.
Glossy cover: It picks up some fingerprints. I hear the Fine Ebony version picks up even more fingerprints. They include a good neoprene-like sleeve and a fingerprint buffing cloth to keep the netbook fresh and clean, which is kind of neat.
