Reviews:

“Overall, the AA1’s build quality is excellent. The keyboard is well laid out, firm and responsive, the screen hinge is solid, and the fan is never intrusive once it fires up to cool things down. It has a decent colour scheme as well, the black screen surround nicely setting off the white of the lower half of the device, though we’re not entirely sure what the red rims on the lid hinge are all about” – (Regharware UK, 2008)
