Think of quiet, and imagine it quieter than that. One serious point of frustration that I understand may be common on Acer laptops is that the audio output is extremely low. I easily upgraded the memory to 4GB for about $40 and that makes little netbook a nice portable developer rig. I finally got my hands (via eBay) on one of the Tablet PCs that were given away at PDC this year (effectively a custom Acer 1420P Convertible).
