I did purchase a cordless mouse which was nice to have as well (from staples $8.

I don't seem to need any addtional ram yet so - for $249 i'm really set.

Competitiveness

The startup and close-down time is remarkable compared to all the other computers i have ever used.

And if it doesn't, well i'll just fork out another $249 on a similar model to compare.

There's probably better ways to spend money than on this, but i can't say i'm unhappy with it.

Comparing the 1005hab side-by-side with an acer aspire one d150, it feels pretty cheap.
