Netbooks

[!Zar!]

So I decided to add a baby to my current portable pc stable.

Recently I've been eyeing netbooks. Acer One, Asus 1000HA, Hp 2133/2140 or 1010nr, Dell mini 9 and what not.

Right now I'm leaning towards the HP 2133 just because it isn't as expensive as the 2140 yet still performs pretty well.

Experiences and suggestions on any of the ones I've listed or forgotten?

I've been using the MSI Wind for about 4 months now with no issues. I even run World of Warcraft at about 20fps when i'm not able to get on my main tower.

I paid about 400 if i remember correctly.

I own an Acer Aspire One, came with 512 MB of RAM and the 8 GB SSD. I have since upgraded it to 1.5 GB and 60 GB HDD. It makes a GREAT laptop for taking notes in class, typing up notes (from hand written notes), browsing the net (run Firefox in full screen mode) and even light LIGHT gaming (I personally play Quakeworld and some NetHack on it). I am running Ubuntu 8.10 and have run other OSes in the past. Some of those netbooks are able to run OS X with some software tweaks, but don't ask me on details as I have no interest on running that on an Atom. :barf:


The keyboard WILL get some getting used to. I would personally recommend an EeePC 1000HE. They claim 9.5 hours of battery life and 92% the size of a full keyboard. Feel free to ask questions if you have any.

Edit: It's small enough that I can carry it to class without even feeling the weight of it in my bookbag. I can also carry it with a notebook or something if I don't feel like bringing a bag.

Wow.

Thanks to everyone who gave me some insight.

Time to do the right thing then.
