Netbooks

Anybody got any netbook experience. I'm taking a look @ the ASUS Eee PC 1000.

No experience,
I think they're moderate for work.
But not for free time-laptop.
If I was you, I should wait to get a real laptop.
They're good to carry around though...If you're buying one, check this out for the best.

I'm considering the Asus Eee 900. I read that it runs BackTrack 3 correctly, and is commonly used for doing that.

I'm also considering the EEE 900. It's very affordable and practical if I want a device to type/surf the net/listen to music. Plus, it runs Linux quite well.

I've had an Asus eee 701 since January. They are great if you want something for "casual computing" in a very small, portable package: web browsing, email, note-taking, etc. They are the size of a large paperback novel and only weigh a pound or so, so obviously they are a lot more convenient for people on the go.On the other hand, the screen and keyboards are cramped. If you regularly type long documents (ie. more than a page in length) or work on spreadsheets, etc. you are better off with a larger laptop.Also the netbooks will not have the horsepower for high-end emulation. I find my 701 is fine for emulating up to 16 bit; anything after that is just too demanding and bogs down on my little machine.

As I said, not for free-time laptop ;)

i was thanking about getting one but the screens are to small for my likeing, some of those netbooks are 4 and 6 hundred dollors you could get a biger laptop for that much money,

In Europe, they're way cheaper... only 200 euros...
And you'll get used to the screen... I think.. Only hard to get some good wallpapers, I gues..

in the UK they're way more expensive.

Or it's just the Netherlands, we can get them from a TOY store for 200 euros..
