Looking to purchase a netbook or small notebook for business as I spend a vast majority of my time out onsites.

I run a terminal server in the office so it doesn't need massive grunt as anything complex is run on the server not the standalone machine.

It will be a secondary machine as I use my desktop in the office.

Looking at the eepc but hoping for some feedback on any that you might have or use.

Also a small portable printer for the odd bits and pieces when out and about.

Any tips or feedback on what the better ones are for usability etc?

cheers

I am looking for the exact same thing

I was in JB hifi and harvey norman today looking for netbook/ notebook.

Netbooks just are rubbish. They are small, flimsy with tiny keys (how can a man actually use one?) I found an allright one but it had a 12 inch screen. Almost not a netbook anymore but they wanted 1200 for it.

I found this compaq presario at harvey norman for 599. Full size notebook 14 inch inbetween a netbook and notebook

this is what I looked at today. It has seperate graphics card (which is good) and all the other shit you need. Processor is the big let down. It is quite slow but it is a hell of a lot faster than these netbooks getting around.

This is where I am leaning ATM. but I will keep looking. I think for the small size you really pay a premium , for about 700-900 you can get a better 'laptop'

Dunno if it's any good but Zazz has a Netbook for sale today?

you mirin?

missus just bought an Acer Aspire One (i think the AOD150) with upgraded 2GB ram.

Seems like a good laptop, we chose it mainly because it had a 'normal' keyboard, much easier to type. Odd mouse button would be its only weakpoint so far.

Have a look at this site, they have some good deals that pop up all the time...

Have a look through the past catches and see some deals they had.

I grabbed my missus an Asus EeePC 1002HA Delivered for $499

I have one of those Asus eeePC 1000HE.. I fucken love it and it runs everything fast enough(upgraded to 2GB RAM). I also got rid of XP and chucked on Windows 7 and again, runs everything. Probably wouldnt run any new games but runs older ones fine.

Can also overclock them (both FSB and GPU clock) for to get everything out of it.. The Atom's love it.
