The thing weighs not quite 3 pounds with the battery in.<BR/><BR/>I'm happy with my Dell Inspiron 1200.

Nothing worse than buying a new computer and immediately begin to upgrade.SordidPandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00657526230826604643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-88401804018225867122008-12-27T04:22:00.000-06:002008-12-27T04:22:00.000-06:00My friend bought one and I tried it out.

My Compaq Presario V3000 keyboard is only slightly better though.Geraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03534260370087695713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-35413977300221614672008-12-26T03:39:00.000-06:002008-12-26T03:39:00.000-06:00I am one of the horde of netbook buyers.

I have all three sorts of computers, a Desktop for gaming purposes as well as for working comfortably while at home, though for ergonomics i could just as well use my laptop with an external keyboard and an external monitor.<BR/>While traveling (which i almost always do by car) i usually bring my laptopcomputer, As that one is more comfortable working and websurfing on than the netbook, which i am currently using. I bought my Acer Aspire one a110 in november to use while driving my taxi as there is loads and loads of waiting time which i use for websurfing and watching movies. As a friend borrowed my laptop and "cellphone modem" over christmas i am right now sitting in the couch at my sisters place and typing away at this quite adequate little tool, weighing in at just under one kilogram it is a wonderful little tool that i dont notice the weight of in my Everyday Carry Backpack, at 2700 Swedish Kronor it is cheap enough to be affordable to replace if i should happen to kill it.Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06018665157500569016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-65574742247706115502008-12-26T00:36:00.000-06:002008-12-26T00:36:00.000-06:00I love the smaller notebooks.

I got myself a Macbook about 2 years ago when the iBook took a dump during a software update and still use it to this day.<BR/><BR/>They're easy to tote around when traveling and light enough that you don't feel weird with it on your lap, which is what I'm doing right now.Justin Buisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17562279125607977323noreply@blogger.com
