| You need to be careful - not all netbooks are built the same and I'm not just talking memory, display, hard drive.
Some of these netbooks are not built with the poweruser in mind but moreso the elementary school kids that need a wordprocessing, email, and web box to throw in their backpacks.
Before you buy one, check to make sure the video chip is a good one (anything labeled simply "integrated" is probably not worth getting into), that it has at least 2GB RAM and DDR2 (most do) and either XP Pro or Vista Home Premium (many have WinXP Home or Vista Basic).
Otherwise they are great portable machines if you can deal with the typical 1024x600 display. |
