I'm thinking of buying a netbook..they are under three hundred dollars now.....I read the Acer is ok but the screen is crap and breaks very easily due to a hinge problem....anyone have any thoughts on what I should get?

I'm using a dell with the 10 inch screen (I think its that big) and the 160gig HD. Love it

Dont know what the model number is off hand and cant find it on the computer.

It is fast becoming my main box, even for development stuff.

I ordered a Dell 10" netbook. Should be here this coming week. I wanted something small and light that i could keep with me, and use when I'm sitting in front of the television and want to check a fact

I'm also looking at that one, among others. Probably will buy next Spring, unless I find a great deal before then. I want something smaller that travels easier than the 17" HP boat anchor that's almost 5 years old.

Once you've been using it for a time I'd be interested in a quick review.

Guess I'll get a Dell then. I've had two Acer laptops..not too bad but they are really heavy...a netbook would be perfect for me.

Steve-ATCI · 10-12-2009

Good luck with the Dell. I have an old Toshiba and its heavier than a car battery. LOL

I can beat that...the "carrying case" for my Acer is heavier than a car battery lol.

Got my Dell 10" Netbook today! Took 4 hours to ge everything updated and install the basics, but the thing is perfect! It's nice and light and small, but not too small. It is exactly what I was looking for in a laptop to carry around (and keep by my couch when watching TV).

You need professional help if you keep your laptop beside you when you are watching tv, Danny.

sheepishly looks at ground....

Yeah, that is lame, keeping your netbook alongside you while watching TV..

Everyone knows it belongs on the coffee table in front of you

The first link I set up was one for imdb.com! I really am a loser

mwave.com had eec 701d's a few weeks ago for $119 shipped. I bought two. There ok, for sitting in a bar working or in a park or whatever. They are great for surfing the net. I have a daul core mega ram laptop that is a case like the deal or no deal girls have, weighs a ton. What I like about the netbook the most, is the laptop gets 1.5 hours on the battery, but the netbook gets right around 3 hours. Everyone in the house has a laptop, they sit and watch tv every night. They haven't reached the part of just im'ing each other instead of talking, but I kind of wonder when that will start.
