Re: Netbooks
I have the Asus EEE 1000H netbook. It has the 10.1 inch screen. I bought it as a secondary laptop and am very pleased with it. I did upgrade the ram to 2gig to speed things up a little. If you decide to get one, there aren't too many cases for these netbooks other than sleeves. I ended up buying a case bag for a portable DVD player and it fits inside perfectly with lots of room for the power supply, wireless mouse, and a USB external DVD burner.
I gotta say that I love this little guy. When I bought it, it was rated high for performance compared to similar models at the time. It was $500 bucks maybe 6 months ago (i don't remember exactly when I got it), and I saw it at Best Buy for $300 or so a couple months ago.
I find myself using it A LOT more than my regular laptop. Perfect for email, browsing the net, some gaming and lately I rip a lot of my DVDs to AVI's or WMV's to watch on it, too.
Yeah like one of the posters said- if you're gonna use a flashdrive make sure you encrypt it. I personally use Folder Lock which you can install and secure stuff on your PC AND on your flashdrives.
Heres a quick pic of my netbook next to my main lappie.
I plan on getting a newer model ASUS netbook sometime this year and pass the 1000H on to my son. If you can wait, the next gen netbooks are coming out with optical drives within the next couple months.
