Yesterday I went on an open day to Cardiff University. Underneath the students' union is a small computer shop with insanely low prices. Rather than sell brand new, top of the line stuff the sell refurbished, ex-display, end of line etc... For example, My lalptop, which would normally retail at around the £650 mark, they had a previous body-shape, almost exactly the same spec for £400.

Anyways, they had a small selection of netbooks. They of course had the staple EeePC, a Toshiba and a VAIO. The EeePC and the VAIO were just too expensive for what you get (even by their standards) leving me with the Toshiba. Until then I had never seen a netbook in the flesh and didn't believe just how small they were. I can now say I really want one simply so I can be a proper nerd and take it with me everywhere like I first did with the PSP. It would also mean i wouldn't need to buy a PMP saving me £150 or so...

Then again... I do need a car... quite badly...
i luv me netbook i do, i take it with me literally everywhere i go and it's a lot easier to do compared to my laptop which ways a ton.

however it is not fun to use in a quite public space as my netbook is one of the few aspire ones with an noisy fan :(
The NC10 is pretty neat... but then again... so is the S101..

There is simply too much choice.
I don't think the Toshiba even had a fan...
i was talking about the acer aspire one
I dunno, even with its size, Netbooks are still pretty... well... useless if you have a sophisticated enough phone and a good comp at home
