CNET's Take
For the price, CNET felt that the superior processor speed and the light weight of the W7S should be expected. While the report lamented the laptop's 13-inch screen size and the Microsoft Windows XP OS, it still recommended the computer overall for its multi-purpose features like its DVD recorder and 128 MB of dedicated RAM.
