If I were going to buy a Netbook, I'd buy something with an Atom processor because it can run OS X.

I got a netbook for xmas. The wife and I looked at each other and went..wha?. Even my 12 yr old was insulted.
Is a netbook worth anything?. What do you use it for?. I think its an Acer.

I want to sell my Sony Vaio I only used for a year because I made impulse decisions as a stripper.

I got an Acer because it came with an Atom processor, 2 gigs of ram, a 10.2" display and a 250 gig hard drive. 2.2# total weight and I use it for work, it does everything a full size laptop does. You might want to look at the new Toshiba out now too, it is sweet.

Microsoft will only license Windows for netbooks with 1GB of RAM or less. This is not enough for today's applications. Unless you're willing to go for a Linux based machine, I say forget it.

Not. For light web browsing, it's pretty awesome. It doesn't do Flash though, so no online porn except pics. I find that I don't miss having a keyboard. Having your computer being just a nice sized screen is quite enjoyable from an ergonomic standpoint. It's great for movies. All my Kindle books transferred right over to the Kindle app and now they're in color. It's very snappy as far as performance goes. As far as gaming goes, I've been mostly playing scrabble and crossword puzzles.

Jeff... buy one that will play ALL the porn, I mean everywhere and everything without so much as a blink or warning, download any file that makes noise or even begins to pretend to support file sharing and at the very least youtube videos that are like "most recent" and I'll be interested. This is what I use computers for. It is a computer, yes?.

Some are upgradeable. I know the Dell minis can run 2GB. I'm about to make a move on a loaded 10v.
Just make sure that it is upgradeable with a SO-DIMM and not on the motherboard, otherwise, you'd be faced with taking the netbook apart which can be a real hassle.

I don't think that I'll be buying another netbook as they are now (as opposed to an ultraportable notebook). I do want another small lappy with a 10" screen, but I'm looking for something that isn't available yet: - 802.11n - at least 4G RAM - cool temps always, even under load(!) - HDMI and VGA output (for old displays) - a decent dual-core processor (AMD probably) - at least 10 hours of battery life with light use - a decently powerful GPU (AMD again, for integration) Perhaps in a few years...
