    Default Re: Any Experience with Netbooks?

    I have a EEE PC (linux version) that I'm pretty happy with considering the cost of admission. When I bought mine, I went for a model with more disk space, but apparently the 16GB "Solid State Drive" was really just a soldered in SD card... which wasn't so great performance wise....

    Nonetheless I'm still pretty happy with it- it does what it's supposed to. I can get on the Internet via Firefox, place videocalls via Skype and type papers via OpenOffice. It sometimes seems to bog down a little with multiple tabs open with Flash video, ect.- that may be due to the slow drive, but either way, I never expected blazing fast performance from it and it gets good battery life when unplugged. It would make a poor replacement for a proper desktop PC, but for a way to stay connected on the go, I'm satisfied.
