Re: Mini Notebooks

The prices on the Mini are dropping. I saw a refurb HP mini on buy.com for $249. Laptop and mini sales are outpacing desktops. My main concern is the 1gig ram and doing word process.

Re: Mini Notebooks

xman...

i had the same concerns, but i wanted:

<span style="font-weight: bold">ease of travel
long battery life</span>
movie watching (although that is the same as a sedative for me)
music file
internet
and the occasional word processing.

i've been test driving it this past weekend, but the big test will be this upcoming weekend when i go out of town. so far....

battery lasted 5h:49m off of one charge. i turned it off before just how long it could go.
itunes ran great. the sound card on the little thing is LOUD i was quite impressed.
able to run 3 internet windows at the same time and havent notice any lag time on loading (meaning i havent gotten the hourglass).
it fits inside of my purse

Re: Mini Notebooks

Just wanting to touch base with those who have netbooks for some time? Do you still like it? Do you still use it frequently?


I am thinking of something to drop into my purse when I am going out and about but yet useful enough to use as an ereader when i want to read online..

Re: Mini Notebooks

HI Keyer - I have the same one that ILP Has - I got mine last year around this time...

I really love it... just for the portability feature.

I have a desktop and a 17&quot; laptop which I use for real work but for presentations on the go, travel, bed surfing - I love my little acer... My only complaint about it is that the right and left clicky things are kinda hard on the fingers...

But i use a wireless mouse with mine.

I also upload pics when I am on vacation so I can empty my SD card.

Re: Mini Notebooks

I have an Acer Aspire One I bought earlier this year for about $350. I absolutely love it. I travel a lot on my job so convenience was what I was looking for. Battery life is about 6.5 hours. I use it for all my business apps except Access, though mostly for light editing and PowerPoint presentation.

The organization I work with offers me an IBM ThinkPad but it is too heavy and I do a lot of traveling. So I keep the ThinkPad at home.
