OMG YAY

Netbook arrived! After two infuriating hours trying to get Internet Explorer and the wireless to work at the same time without the entire computer freezing I finally managed to get everything working long enough to download a decent browser and now it's running perfectly! And I can type almost as well as I could on my old one, and probably better once I get used to it because I keep typing really weird/lazily so close keys is good.

Also the battery is currently at 24% which gives me another two hours. At max everything. This is awesome.

I was expecting it to choke and die on videos but actually it runs them fine. Haven't checked to see if it'll struggle playing music while I do other things, but cautiously hopeful.

My netbook sends me down a dark spiral every time I struggle with the blasted thing. It's pretty much bottom end and it can play music with up to about five tabs without any problem, which bodes well for yours, but it takes twenty seconds to start up and keys are so small and ugh.

I will be the last person on earth with a tower.

It takes forever to load but I don't actually turn laptops off unless I have to, so I don't care. Keys are small but not too small, at least so far, I may go crazy by the end of the day. So far, though, just usual different-keyboard strugglings. I don't really know homerow typing or anything, I get used to where my hands rest.

I have no idea where this stands in the general netbook family.
