Netbooks? - Page 2

Asus makes some of the best netbooks out there. you can get a really good one for $400. Keyboards are almost full size with some models having standard locations for the keys.

I have a Dell Mini 10v and I love it. Nice long battery life. I think if I had to deal with Windows, IMHO there isn't enough power. I have Ubuntu on the netbook and it runs super fast. I have Windows 7 as a backup and it runs faster than XP. Overall, I am very satisfied with it! My only wish is that it could run HD video so I could hook it up to the HDTV for watching movies.

Overall, if it was lost or stolen I would buy another one to replace it.

That's interesting. Incredibly underpowered though and not even having a SSD kills it for me.

EDIT: But I really like the fact that is is always connected via 3G and Wi-Fi. I wonder if they will require some sort of cellular plan to enable the 3G aspect, like the iPad? It actually seems like a really cool smartbook. I wonder how much it is going to retail for?

Dell Mini 9 Hackintosh, best $300 I've spent on any computer.

We have an Acer aspire with the atom processor built in wifi and so on. I am using right now. It is great for sitting in the chair in the evening surfing the web. I also took it on vacation to back up the pictures every evening and sending email. Other uses have been maintaining a couple of excel files I use at a local shooting club. and playing MP3s in the garage. My wife uses it more than I do though I perfer the desk top with the 22" screen. I don't care for the small screen but it is fine for surfing and email. Heak I use my iPhone for most email these days. For the 250.00 we paid I couldn't be happier. It was an open box deal at Sams club. If it dies I will pitch it and buy another. I would also consider the cheep full size I think you can pick one up for under 400.00 that would be a good surfer. I like my iPhone but for the going price of the iPad It would be tough to justify double the price for a web surfer.

Erin went and ordered one for me: ASUS 1005HA - PU1X BU

A bit of a surprise, since I thought we were just researching them for now. Anyways, from the link that Aldrin provided, I can't tell if this one is Macable. I think I want to try it, but don't want to wipe it out with no way to restore it. Anyone know if it can be done with this model?

Atom n280 and GMA950 - should be doable!

That looks very cool. Looks like part of the future (or at least 3 or 4 years) is going to be "Tablet-like"
