What are peoples thoughts on these machines with the 16gig drive.

I've seen them at a very good price and thought I might buy one.
 
Personally, I think they're unusable. The keyboard is absolutely tiny - hugely frustrating to type on - the keyboard and palmrest area can get very hot (poor heat disapation), CPU is woeful, SSD is slow, and the screen is titchy.

Buy it by all means if you need an cheap portable internet browser, but it will make you want to tear your hair out if you want to use in the way that you would a normal notebook. They've also been discontinued by Dell (probably because they're not very good).

Surely the performance can't be any worst the 99% of all netbooks, don't they mostly use the same hardware??
