Conclusion: You can’t expect too much things from a Netbook and it goes well with Dell Latitude 2100 also. Its good for Internet browsing and basic usage. The only concern I have is the low RAM capacity that can cause your applications to run slow in Vista and Windows 7 that are resource intensive operating systems. I would suggest to buy this netbook with Windows XP or Linux OS for good performance even at this RAM support and get you some discount also by removing Operating system from the configuration.
