Hi,
Im new to the forum so hello peeps.
I know this question is probably asked loads and you will all be going yaaawwwnnnn.... but....
I was wondering if any of you had any input into the following netbooks or possibly suggest alternatives.
Im looking for a new netbook and I keep thinking maybe I should hold off and wait for new ones to come out and this has been going on a while now as with all computer related stuff there is always something newer and better round the corner.
The netbook will be taken away with me while on business (for my personal use not business) so will be used on the plane, airports, at the hotel etc and will be used for the internet, skype, watching movies/tv shows etc and if possible wee bit of games too (nothing too heavy though). So im looking for something which is light, good battery and can handle everything I need while away.
After looking into it for some time, im kinda leaning towards one of 4 machines:
HP/Comaq mini 311 - Gets positive reviews and has the ION thing going on so can play games of sorts on it... however its the heaviest of the bunch and has the n270 processor (although from what I've read i wont really notice the difference) and I think the least battery life.
Asus EEE 1005HA - Also gets good reviews, has the n280 processor, fantastic battery life, fairly light, however has a smaller resolution and the GMA gfx.
Asus EEE 1008HA - The lightest of the lot, n280 processor, good battery life, however upgrades are not easy, same resolution as the 1005HA
Toshiba NB200 (one of the flavours since there is a few) - Again good reviews, fairly light, n280 processor, same resolution as the previous and excellent battery life again
