I went for Acer timeline x 4820tg

very slim, light, and 10 hour battery,
windows 7, i5, 4 gig ram 600 gig hdd
burner,

I had a hp netbook, but it got damaged. So i was looking at a new netbook for uni etc... Aiming For around $300-400, and found the tablets (ipad etc)
So yeah ended up with a acer iconica a501, 16gb, for $330 cash from goodguys.
Havent had it that long, but so far its been really impressive
It much faster than a equlivant priced netbook, easy to type Assignments etc, and if u struggled typing on the touch screen, its got the usb's to plug keyboard in if need be

The only con is when you try play movies at a res. Higher than 12##x 800, but they are perfect at or below that
Not that netbook played any decent movies anyway lol.

Its slightly larger than the ipad2, and a bit heavier, but the screen is slightly larger. (10.1" i think)
Has usb, hdmi and speaker outputs, 3g (simcard), wifi, 5mp cam+2mp cam & battery lasts forever (9-10 hours)
And imo, at a third of the price of an ipad2, its not bad, okay it dosent have the apple name badge, but neither dose it have the restrictions. The usb allows, hard drives, phones, keybords, printers whatever to be plugged straight it
So yeah, just a bit of an alternitive for those out there looking for a compact computer.

Sent from My Iphone

got myself an asus 10.1 hd netbook. apparently when support is needed i don't have to send away because the support is local unlike others i have been told

Ive dont further research and external DVD burners are cheap now and run off USB, I think? So, dont really need one in the lappy..
