Customer Review: Great Value!
When I bought this laptop I wasn’t sure exactly what options it had because of the lack of a good summary but I went ahead and bought it anyway, at least I’d have something to take to class like all the other college students. It was great deal for me but I’ll let you make your own decision. Here are some of the things I was looking for and couldn’t find on the website that this computer has:
Wireless internet adapter
8GB Solid State Drive plus 10GB of online storage
MMC, SD Card reader (for more HD space)
Built in webcam and microphone
512MB RAM
Intel Mobile Processor (probably a little over .5GHz)
USB 2.0 x3
For the smaller battery, about a 2-2.5 hour life while being used,
and a place to hook up a monitor.
It’s a little short of a desktop replacement but if you’re looking for that, go ahead and spend $75-$100 more and get the 8.9″ model or the 10″ model and you can get the 160GB HD space, 1GB RAM and ability to run any program (games, ect…) But for the size and price, this little thing is extremely powerful! Hope I helped :)

Customer Review: Don’t buy this junk from Target through Amazon.
If you think buying from Target through Amazon and getting Target service, think again. This Eee PC was purchased as a Christmas gift for me. The battery pack would not charge so I took it to my friendly local Target store for a replacement. I was told that even though someone had purchased it from Target they could not replace it for me because it was purchased through Amazon. It would have to be shipped back to Amazon for replacement. Well how about them apples?

Me standing there with a receipt that said Amazon/Target on it. A big brown box covered with Target tape because it was shipped from another Target store. And approximately $300.00 worth of dead merchandise and they could not swap it for the one just like it sitting on the counter.

Now in these “hard times” for retailers wouldn’t you think a little bit of good old fashioned service would go a long way toward boosting customer confidence in their Target brand and create some goodwill and customer loyalty. The customers in line behind me thought I was not being unreasonable. I bet I would have never gotten that kind of run-around at the other big box stores. At least I haven’t yet.

Hmm, maybe that’s why I haven’t ever shopped at Target stores before. And it’s probably why I never will again.
