I just bought this because it is cheap. I also found many people upgraded this PC with 1. 1GB RAM to 4GB RAM (If you install standard Win7 or higher) 2. Windows 7 Pro / Windows 8 3. SSD Flash (Which I am not sure if I will do this or not)
There is a youtube video for how to open this PC and replace memory and hard drive. The video uses LT4004u but I thinks this is the same chassis as LT4010u. Youtube Link

Are you buying this because of it's small physical size? Why not spend $200 on a Nexus 7 16GB tablet? If I need a keyboard I'd move up to a 14" or larger laptop; bigger screen and higher resolution.

I'm looking at this because I want something with a keyboard that's small and light, but also inexpensive. 7" is much too small for me (I have a Kindle Fire and absolutely hate to even send text messages on it! One finger typing is frustrating! My 15" laptop has become too cumbersome to carry around every day. I need to be able to use Office (mostly word and PowerPoint), surf/research/bookmark, email, and would like to view YouTube and Netflix now and then. Heavy work is done with my laptop, but on location.
Done - shipping to home adds $4.97; it's nearly that much in gas to get to the store (45 miles RT).
Do not forget the HDMI output...makes this even sweeter. I have one and now my 15.6 inch Asus is officially home-only status. Love watching my movies on hotel tv's with this little beast.
This deal was posted already and got no green...seems like not so good a netbook deal and I should wait for something better?

Whether or not to wait depends on how long you want/can wait, you're what you're waiting for, and how much you want to spend among other things. I don't want Win8.. I'm good with upgrading the RAM (thank you for the video link in the posting, btw). I need it sooner than later and this seems like the right offer/price point for me. There is also a 15 day return window. Amazon has it for $259 with three reviews. I didn't check other sites. Having the RAM upgrade video link and other users suggestions helped cinch the deal for me. .
I didn't see the post on the 26th.

Read this in a review of the motherboard on Newegg, was on the fence, but now decided against it as I was going to use this as a home theater pc.
"Cons: These NM10 boards are notorious for ONLY have proper video drivers for Windows 7 32-bit. If you use an external monitor, be prepared for a severe lack in resolutions. This is another reason I can't give this netbook a 5/5."

IMHO 10.1 is just too small for web surfing. 11.6 is really the sweet spot for small portable laptops.

I couldn't find any reviews on Newegg or Tiger Direct for this machine. It would be great if you could post a direct link.

So I'm the one who posted the previous one.. and I got the laptop within a couple days shipped from Colorado. I had already purchased the RAM upgrade, but wanted a baseline, so once the netbook got here, we used it for about a day before switching the 1gb RAM to the 2gb RAM and it was really quite a difference. I removed some of the gateway bloatware and things seem even smoother. We really like this machine, and I'm actually selling my HP touchpad and am likely going to buy a netbook.
All of that being said, the keyboard on this thing is small! But that will get easier with use, and it's bigger than typing on a tablet, so I can't really complain since I'm going from a micro keyboard on the tablet to a small keyboard on this netbook.
It's incredibly light, and my wife can put it in her purse.. She's happy. I'm happy. And it was less than $200 shipped!

Thanks for posting your review! I'm looking forward to its arrival tomorrow. I've had a 10" netbook and thought I'd never get used to the keyboard, but I certainly did, and for the price of this one - I'm really looking forward to giving my back a break from my laptop.
