- I have thought about this question many times. I run a business that is email intensive. Currently, I have a netbook when on the go during the week, and carry just a smartphone on the weekend....
- If my math is right, 720.

I purchased a Netbook G last September and never have been able to get the unit to function properly. I contacted the manufacturer and discovered Sylvania is in name only - as Sylvania essentially leases their namesake to go on these units. It has been impossible to get a refund or exchange for another less problematic model. The best they have offered is a $179.99 refund to send my computer to some third party reseller in New York - even though I paid $313. Mind you, this unit supposedly comes with a one-year warranty.
DigitalGadgets is the company that is selling these computers as Sylvania. DigitalGagets is simply a terrible and likely soon to be non-existant company. Good luck finding a name or number or anything tangible on them. Everything is done in email and most of the responses really leave you wondering what sort of operation they are running.
To add to the foolishness, when you contact DigitalGadgets via their online form, you get a response from Levin Consulting, a Cleveland, Ohio, company. A company that specializes in trolling the far east digging up goods already made to be rebadged as a product from a known mega-corp.
The issues:
* Wifi does not work
* The CPU scaling doesn't work - runs at 600Mhz always.
* Video output is choppy - no driver support.
* Sound output to headphone jack doesn't work
* Battery life is not anything near 4 hours due to CPU scaling not working.
