Netbooks - Luca Shoal - 03-03-2009
Recommend me one, preferably under $400 and able to access Wi-Fi. I'm looking at the Dell's even, well aware of their reputation.
And this is meant for portability, not really for extensive gaming :V. I just can't lug my desktop everywhere.
Re: Netbooks - Versus - 03-04-2009
EEE, 900 or 1000 series.

fuck those goddamn retarded AHRIAHGAGHSAGHIASGA FUCKING EEE
Just pick anything on sale from HP or Dell, and Dell's rep is mostly for their desktops and that laptop battery set that was exploding back in like '02. Their laptops are actually pretty solid.

Re: Netbooks - Luca Shoal - 03-04-2009
Yeah, the Inspiron 9 which runs Ubuntu.
Re: Netbooks - HeK - 03-04-2009
Can rarely go wrong with Dell, just have to ditch their software load.
I've been eying the new EEE 1000HE myself, I love the 9+ hour battery but I wish it had the SSD hard drive. Mind you, it's out of your requested price limit.
Re: Netbooks - [fr31ns]Karrde - 03-05-2009
Indeed. You just need a portable wordprocessor and webbrowser basically? Just get a cheap ass dell.

As long as you don't expect good support and are happy with meh quality hardware... Don't know about the netbooks, actually I heard they are pretty good but I've only had bad experiences with Dell stuff... Within and outside my job...
Re: Netbooks - KarthXLR - 03-05-2009
I've never met a windows laptop I liked. Seriously.
But I'm quite happy with the MacTop.

My reccos:
HP Mini1000. Keyboard's one of the best i've seen.
With XP: http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/computer_can_series.do?storeName=computer_store&category=notebooks&a1=Category&v1=Mini&series_name=mini1000xp_series
With propitiatory Linux interface: http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/computer_can_series.do?storeName=computer_store&category=notebooks&a1=Category&v1=Mini&series_name=mini1000mi_seriesÂ
If you want some more robust hard drive space, I'd go with an MSI wind:

Re: Netbooks - Luca Shoal - 03-06-2009
100bux cheaper than the HP ones.
Final Destination time.
Asus or Dell? I'm gonna go with one or the other.
edit - if I go Asus, it'll be the first or third one Versus noted

Re: Netbooks - rumsfald - 03-06-2009
for me, there is nothing I use a a netbook for that I couldn't do on a good smartphone for cheaper, smaller, lighter, and without being tethered to a wifi location.Â

Yeah, I was just about to say with crappy battery life and a shitty resolution like that, why not just get a phone?
Re: Netbooks - Versus - 03-06-2009
crappy battery life, wut?
Re: Netbooks - Luca Shoal - 03-06-2009
Because I have a phone Rummy :V. And don't need/want to pay monthly service fees? Nor do I need a phone contract.
http://www.androidg1.org/g1-deals/ Plus they seem to cost the same price as a netbook anyways.
Re: Netbooks - Luca Shoal - 03-12-2009
bumpin for further opinions :V
Re: Netbooks - Luca Shoal - 03-17-2009
Welp, no one offered more advice or anything. This should be here Friday :V.
Re: Netbooks - Versus - 03-18-2009
