Swithering between a full blown laptop or a netbook for now and desktop build next year.
Currently living out of a hotel for business 4 days a week so would love something portable for movies, music and internet but also with some basic game playing capability, only recent thing I want to play is Football Manager, anything else is fairly old like Red Alert 2 or Half Life 1
I was going to buy something like an Acer 6935G but I think along with my work laptop it would be too much to carry it and a 16" personal laptop although maybe an Acer isn't as heavy as I think.
Very keen on the new HP Mini 311 with the Ion GPU, seems to be nicely specced for video, etc and some basic gaming also pricewise seems good but would a laptop with a CULV processor be better?
Or should I just buy something like the Acer 6935 and carry it?
Or is there some other middle ground I have maybe missed? I had a 2007 13" Macbook for a while and size wise it was perfect.
