Page 2 of 3 The mouse track pad works really well, but the mouse buttons only
really work well when you press them from on top. All too often we
found ourselves trying to press the buttons from the front and this
clearly did not have the desired effect. The track pad does have a
multi-touch functionality, a la MacBook Air, that allows you to scroll
horizontally and vertically through documents.We were really pleased with the selection of ports on the laptop. Enough USB ports, an Ethernet port, a VGA port microphone and headphone jacks and an SD card reader capable of reading and wriitng to SDHC cards (which would give you an extra 32GB of storage!) The screen looks really good. It has a resolution of 1024 by 600 and looks classy enough (especially with Windows XP running on this review unit). And it also had a good enough viewing angle to allow two people to look at the screen at once. Sadly, this model does not sport Intel's new Atom processor. Instead it has a Celeron processor running at 900MHz. With a gig of ram inside the machine runs fast enough, just, but on start up can feel a little sluggish at times.
