The Dell latitude 2100, made for public schools, has a light on the back that stays on, unless you click Fn and f6, or go into the bios, when you start your computer by clicking f2 at the bootup, and disable it there,  might not be in the original bios, but at the Dell site theres an update for the bios and gobs of other updates.        Has windows 7 starter edition running on it, a limited version of w7.... an annoying background thats hard to change but a search on the internet and you will find several ways to get it off... I prefer a black background... supposedly saves ram, for other tasks....      The 2100 is fast on the internet, hard sometimes to get a wifi connection going... have to mess with it to get it to access a secured connection such as okaying the cisco access, strange! A full size keyboard, 3 slots for usb and a memory card, havent checked yet to see if you can boot up another operating system such as linux on the usb or memory card slots... but will try it,  another go into the bios acts to change the boot order so usb boots first, but worth it to see what those linux people are up to... especially the mint os...  they are getting it down. as far as ease of access     All in all a nice little computer sturdy has a strange rubbery outer shell, comes with a small battery, lasts about 2 hrs...., seems they would have someway to connect to the car lighter since its only an 11.1 volt battery to recharge the battery.. but that gets into sine wave, and modified sine wave and other electronic terms.. that can be mind boggling!        Features the intel atom processor,   1 gig of ram, supposedly easy to add ram such as a 2 gig ram since I have read there is only 1 ram slot...but others have said it has 2 so until then a mystery to me.. some come with a touch screen but the one i got as far as I can figure doesnt have that feature... oh well who needs finger prints on the screen anyway... lol....

I normally do not like dell products but I am a changed person! I purchased this netbook for my teenaged son at his insistence..or should I say begging? I bought it for him due to its light weight and portability. The one that I purchased does not have a cd drive nor does it have a dvd drive. IT is very durable and has great quality sound. It's rubberized outside makes it sturdy. It does not slide. It has little rubber feet on it. It has a nice size screen and great graphics. I like it that it has Intel ATOM and windows 7.It automatically uses Google.I read an article on the particular model and it seems that it was originally produced for students in schools in the United states. apparently there are school districts that use these particular computers by Dell for their primary grade students because of their durability.IT has great hard drive space and has a fairly decent processor. It has built-in WiFi capabilities as well. MyIt is a great product and I definitely recommend it to anyone. kids take it places with them that they know have free Wi-Fi. I have used it myself when we have gone on vacation and did not want to be too far away from a computer for work reasons.

I gave this machine to my younger brother on his b'day, and from that time, it bocome his best companion. About the features of this machine, antimicrobial keyboard features with large keys with good spacing and a nice finish that makes typing easy and enjoyable LED backlight on the screen is really good features, 10.1 " displays is vvery bright in sunlight and also in room light. In a way, really good for educational use.
