I'm really happy with my old netbook though. Guess what everything worked on it except wifi. So I put trust into the same brand, and it has bitten me. X won't work, the intel drm driver doesn't work. I hacked a little in the kernel to see if a simple fix would fix it, it didn't. However the bright news is that I bought this netbook for a purpose of a personal project. Those features that I needed work. So I'm somewhat disappointed but it's not the end of the world. BTW by the time someone said "don't buy brand" I already bought it. It came shipped to me here this morning. I did not chose to get a Lenovo because I felt they were pricy over the 350 euros that I paid. Maybe my own fault then, but I wanted to be adventurous.
