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.

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.

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.

<@Negate> there is a simple pattern
<+Karrde> I changed my mind.  Gonna cosplay as a gay demon from hell and get negate raped instead XD
<+Caffeine`work> Karrde: Gay demon? Why would you need to cosplay just go as yourself
<+FlyingMongoose> Caffeine`work: Karrde would actually have to tone it down some.

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...


Signature temporarily out of order until I get off my lazy ass to fix it.

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/shoppi...0xp_series
With propitiatory Linux interface: http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shoppi...mi_series 

If you want some more robust hard drive space, I'd go with an MSI wind:

edit - if I go Asus, it'll be the first or third one Versus noted

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.
