I bought one of these from an on-line vendor (Amazon links to them). It was delivered yesterday. I had it running about 15 minutes before I shut it down, boxed it back up, and got an RMA from the vendor.
The vendor trumpets the nice, long diagonal screen. Nowhere in their specs, though, did I find that they were forthcoming re: very narrow height of the display — cost me nearly $50 to ship what was a worthless item (to me) back.
The unit appeared to perform OK and display is nice and wide. But, it’s like looking thru a tall, narrow window turned sideways. That display might be nice for a small HDTV, but is worthless for a computer (IMHO).
The vendor has failed to post my review so I thought I’d alert a few people here.

I bought this computer a few months ago and suddenly whenever I use wireless internet, I get a blue screen that causes it to restart. Its a brand new computer and the best the tech support had to offer, was for me to reload my computer and completely erase all of my files. Why would anyone want to buy such a piece of garbage? Spend a little more, and go for a mac.
