Netbooks
 
Do any of you have one? I think they are really neat. I went and looked at some today. I'm going to shop around though. I thought maybe the keyboard would seem too small but really it didn't at all. I think I like the HP mini 210.
A really neat little computer to carry around I think.
Just wandered if any of you or anybody you know has one and what they think of them. Brand and price too.:):)

I don't know anyone personally that has one. They are cute, but when I tried them out in the store...the keyboard just seemed so small. Maybe someone else here can offer more information than I could.

I think that if you want one, then you should get it. I am an electronics nerd, and
enjoy gadgets. So, if you will enjoy the netbook, do it!

I don't have one either, but I think you should get one!! I bet you'll love it!

I ended up ordering a netbook yesterday. I got the HP 210 series. They pretty much all have the same memory, hard drive and processor no matter what brand you get. The HP had alot of good reviews. I liked the Dell keyboard the best but I don't think their tech support is very good.
I went to Hp.com and built the same one I ordered. I saved 50. by ordering it from Walmart.
I hope I like it. One thing for sure that's a plus is I won't have to stay in one room. Right now all I have is a desk top. We're getting a wireless router so that should be nice, I can be wherever I want and still be able to go online.
I'll let you all know how I like it.:) It is supposed to be here about the middle of next week.

How exciting!!! A new toy!!! I've heard of the notebooks but haven't actually seen one in person!! You'll have to let us know how you like it!! I have a laptop and we have wireless internet so I can go where ever I want in the house with it. I just love it!! I can't wait for you to get it!!!

judy 03-13-2010 06:14 AM

You are going to love it!!! I love the freedom of my laptop!

Exciting:):):)

I got my netbook in today. I just love it so far! It's so little:D I am not having any trouble with the keyboard, I was afraid it would be awkward being so small but so far it's fine! I am in the kitchen. Seems so odd! I am always in the office on the desktop.
Hubby got all the wireless stuff hooked up. So nice of him:pso I did something nice for him....looked up the 3 day weather forecast online;):D I am so glad I talked myself into buying it. It's official, I have me a new toy:D

Whoo Hooo! My daughter has a netbook and she loves it. She keeps it downstairs. Sh also uses it to look up recipies and then just sets it on the counter and follows the recipie and doesn't have to print it out. If it turns out good she will print it.

The shift or return key is in the wrong place for me and I don't like that. Otherwise it is a neat little machine!

judy 03-16-2010 06:56 AM

Enjoy it Paula!!! Good for you!

Blueyes 03-16-2010 07:46 AM

I'm glad you like it! I just put my laptop on the kitchen counter when I cook, too! Sometimes I take it to bed with me at night. It would be nice to have a netbook to travel with:)

DianaB 03-16-2010 08:19 AM

I even put movies in mine and watch them while I'm in the kitchen or even traveling. I love my laptop!!!

Janet 03-16-2010 09:10 AM

I love my laptop too, but admit I sit in my recliner most of the time when I'm using it. I need to put it up for awhile and get off my "you know what."

That's so funny Betsi, last night my hubby said...........next you'll be taking it(netbook) to bed with you.
I just told him that you do take yours to bed with you:D:D

Computer, tv, a book... it's all the same to me:p
