I dont mind the small screen as I wouldn't be using it for that purpose all the time...but a laptop is just to bloody heavy to carry around IMHO...
Perhaps I need to re-evaluate

I'm in the market for a netbook as well... but i need one with an express slot and it must be able to run windows (xp or 7), any ideas on what makes, models? not too concerned with cpu peformance but battery life is a big plus.
Cheers
I'm not to fussed abut putting Photoshop on, but if it runs it that good because I'm sure Lightroom doesn't take anywhere near the processing power of photoshop. well at least that's the impression I get.
I dont like the EEpcs, nothing wrong with them as such though, I just didnt seem to like them for some reason. The Acer aspire one is a great netbook, I have been getting 8 to 10 hours out of the battery, and havent had any issues with performance.Quote:

I have tested a few different ones, but decided to go with the acers. You can get the acer aspire one 11.6, bigger screen and keyboard but around $90 more.
Lenovo / IBM netbooks are meant to be ok, I have only played around with one for a couple of hours so cant really say what the are like for sure.

Really tempted to pick up a tablet netbook.
Just waiting for the dual cores, and slightly better GPU specs.
Lou, if I get to the BBQ this arvo, I'll bring my HP netbook (Intel Atom) for you to play with. I bought it a few weeks back whilst in Singapore as I was annoyed with using my PDA or Elisabeth's iPhone.
I have lightroom installed on my hp mini 5102, and it does struggle.
Screen resolution is not great for editing photos. The majority of net books are 1024x600, a few are 1366x768.
But they excellent for travel.
