Is that $150 netbook a good deal? It's exactly my price range. I only need two things - a $150 netbook and a $500 42" plasma. But I have no idea about netbooks. Just need to make sure it has Windows instead of Linux.

Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netbook About.com: http://compreviews.about.com/od/b...tbooks.htm I don't think most people will buy a netbook as a primary computer, but instead as a secondary for use in taking notes, carrying around with them, or just having at home to quickly grab and go surf the web from the armchair. Will you be able to play one of today's demanding games on it? No. Will one be able to watch hd video on it? Possibly (may require adding on a card). Will it do word processing, excel,etc? Yes. Pros of a netbook (from my perspective): physical size and weight, price Cons of a netbook (from my perspective): lack of cd/dvd drive, keyboard may be cramped, games or other visually demanding tasks may not be handled as easily Would it work fine for your

I will be watching this thread carefully. Would like to know where I will be able to get 2 Netbooks on Black Friday. So many stores limit to one.

Let's talk about what is the best (fastest and/or highest res) out there. Or what up and coming.
I've had both Dell 9 with 2GB RAM and the newer Mini1010 2GB RAM. I got rid of them both cause they were just too slow. I even had SSD RunCore IV Pro on the latter. I've read the the eeepc have the faster processor but have never had one to see how it runs. At this point I would not mind paying a little more for something with decent speed that won't stutter upon playing a video or have hdmi but it won't run your LCD or not being able to multi-task. |

The largest netbooks are 10" screens. I've even seen something smaller than a netbook but larger than a smartphone/ipodtouch. Not sure what those are called. I heard someone refer to them as lightbooks but I think he was just reaching. Back on topic: Netbooks Anyone know of up and coming netbooks that may or may not debut on Black Friday? |

I've heard the 12-13" screen range refereed to as ultra-portable laptops. I don't think it really matters what you call it though and think that anything less than or equal to 13" is applicable to this thread but could also be safely cross posted in the laptop thread.

So yes, 11" & 12" but 13" is definitely a laptop. |
