I have been looking at the Lenovo S10-3 or a HP Mini 5102. Both with their own pros and cons, I think their designs are what captures me as there are a dozen different netbooks doing pretty much all the same things. Both these netbooks seem to have what I will need, though I do wish they had a n550 processor ! Does anyone have any opinions on these? Do others out there use a netbook for simple internet tasks?
Of course I have already looked around on the interenet for reviews on both, though was just curious to see what others thought of them.

Netbooks aren't the thing for me. I need something that packs a punch, has a decent sized screen and keyboard, and can easily run me all my apps simultaneously. Hence why I'm saving up for a Macbook Pro ^^;
ReplyDeleteI'm in the same boat right now, I was actually looking at the asus eee. I'm guessing you wouldn't recommend it though.
ReplyDeleteFang, get a real computer damnit. Netbooks are a bad thing in my opinion, but buying Macs is just... uh. Unless there is a mac-exclusive application that you desperately need for your work or something like that, you should just get a regular laptop.
ReplyDeleteJust buy a real computer! I don't like netbooks, you pay more for.... less. But if you really need one, I'd go with the Lenovo.

That Lenovo is looking sexy as hell! I want it!
ReplyDeleteAh fair enough Fang ! Each to their own :) Have you had an apple computer before?
ReplyDeleteAuatarch which model eee pc? Cause this one was from about 2 years ago and its out dated now anyway. Asus do make some great netbooks !
Murray and Gamerman, thing is I do need one, but also want one. I have my man desktop computer for games and other things. I will need to see if I really require one for university or not. Would save me copying notes or info from paper to computer.
Rankulus it sure does look sexy doesn't it ! I think however I'm leaning more towards the HP Mini.
Stupid internets. I wrote a good comment and hit the some button on accident. To sum it up, Asus still is best i think, but check out reviews on newegg.com, it is a great tool to see prices and if something suits your needs before buying.
ReplyDeleteI just started using an Eee 900a a few days ago and I really like it. It's old of course, so don't get it. But I don't understand all the hate here for netbooks. Now that I'm used to the small keyboard, I'm starting to prefer it to regular laptop keyboards. I like it because I can use it in bed without it flopping all over the place and I can keep it close by on my desk, and it doesn't get in the way of my paper and book shuffling. For school-related tasks, netbooks are the right kind of computer.
ReplyDelete@wish0 man I hate that ! It's happened to me before and it was either a good comment or an email that I couldn't retrive again!! I'll have a look at newegg, I'm in Australia so don't know if it will be worthwhile on pricing or even if they ship here. Asus sure do have a good market share and offer some good deals. It's just the one I had is starting really annoy me with issues with low virtual memory and all.
ReplyDelete@anoodle that's the same one I have ! It is a nice little unit just doesn't stand up to what I need to do anymore :(
