Re: Netbooks
currently supporting acer aspire one and asus eeepc.. which are pretty much almost identical in usage.. both SUCK due to SSD (solid state drive) ..
catching up wifi signals is strong point for both.. very good battery life .. no built-in cdrom .. so anything on cds need to be copied over to usb/external cd
if its SSD, its a hassle to install windows.. i successfully installed a light-weight custom installation of xp on aspire one and got it to work with all drivers and
no " ! " marks in device manager after a lot of googling and brain-damage.. after a general usage of 1 day, reverted back to original, intended operating system. . (some linux flavours) which worked great and carried basic functionality which is promised and expected from these lil things..
neat lil machines for non serious work, specially if kids/guests in the house need to use internet/related stuff or out of boredom..
i will recommend however to get the one with a spinning hard drive.. battery life will be a bit low in that case, but it will be... less frustrating... (something about hard drive's working noise that calms me down)
