Bought this netbook for traveling and surfing the Internet on the couch. Added the 2Mb memory stick and upgraded to Windows 7 professional (had a friend with a technet subscription). Please research Windows 7 options before deciding if Windows 7 starter will be fine as you will most likely have to pay extra if you want to go with a Windows 7 OS with more options. All in all I couldn't be happier with this netbook as it works great for what I use it for and the price was excellent. The Dell model is 1012 not 1018 which I wasn't totally positive about until I received the netbook. This came in the brand new Dell packaging and it even had a T-mobile Sim card thrown in if you wanted to get a data plan with them. I don't want the monthly cost at this point so I removed the card and accompanying software from the computer. The full keyboard is extremely functional and the screen size is nice enough. The touch pad takes some time to get used to but wasn't a huge issue for me. Overall the netbook in black on top and white on the bottom looks sharp.
Excellent computer for browsing the Internet and doing everyday Office tasks (Word, Excel, Powerpoint). Stay away if you are running software that hogs resources. I bought the AmazonBasics Netbook Bag with Handle for it which also worked out well.
