It's dying (is it?) because it's slow and not-so-useable. Ok, I just say that because a netbook (Gigabyte Q1000C, 2g of RAM, Atom N470) has been my main personal computing platform for some months now, but boy is it painful! The thing even fails to finish moderately heavy compilation tasks (eg. qemu or gcc). Oh, and it's made of subpar components too, the touchpad doesn't handle even vertical scrolling! There's like 2 non-visible areas tappable/touchable to go up and down... And the keyboard randomly decides that it like the key I last pressed and keeps pressing it for me... That rant passed it must be said that's I'm not a typical user and my wife use her first gen Aspire One like nothing's wrong so maybe it's just me.
