Netbook recs?

I’ve owned an Eee PC, and enjoyed it, but thought the keyboard was a bit small, and the linux OS they put on it was a joke.

If I were to go out and buy one based on looks, I’d get the HP. But for price point, the MSI Wind seems to offer plenty of features for a good price.

I would recommend reading some consumer reviews, because though I have an opinion, others might share another an all together different opinion from mine.

Thanks…I think I’m leaning towards the MSI Wind based on the reviews I’ve seen.

I am typing this on the MSI Wind while in Iraq and I have been pretty pleased with it. I am normally strictly a Mac user, but didn’t want to spend > $1000 on a laptop to bring here and fill with dust, possibly break or have stolen, etc. It’s done just find so far. I do miss the optical drive, as I can’t go to the Ur Market and buy the bootleg DVDs to watch, but I could simply buy an external one for $50 and be fine. I would not want to use it as my only computer by any means, but as a secondary super portable computer, it’s pretty sweet. Comes with XP also, instead of Linux and also has a real 160gb HD instead of those little SSD drives.

The Dell Mini 9 is supposed to be highly hackable to run Mac OS X, so I may have looked into that more, as I prefer OS X.

My wife has an MSI Wind, and we both love it.

I have the Acer Aspire One and LOVE IT. My boss has one, and two other people in the company have since bought them as well ( all as personal machines). The Acer had the best rating in Laptop magazine and everyone of these other 4 people are happy. I got the better deal of us all though because I paid nearly the lowest price but I am the only one with the bigger battery. The only complaint I have heard so far is “I wish I had the bigger battery.”
