i need a new ultra-portable notebook / netbook

Recommended Posts

curently, i'm almost sold on this one..

i got good experience with asus, i just miss a little of that "extra" performance boost; i dont care really if i can play with it for four or ten hours; i just like surfing, watching videos (eventually editing some), gaming a bit every now and then..

what is important is, it must be TINY; and LIGHT; and yea, it should exceed the performance of the 901 is used to own; a little more storage is cool too, i would prefer SSD, but they're just way to expensive..

i've been looking at the macbook air too, but hey, i dont have 2 grand to shell out on that.. somewhere in the range of 500$ is much more likely..

Well, I got tired of lugging my laptop from city to city and RESERVEDLY bought one of these Toshiba netbooks in the thought that I could always flip to something different if it didn't work out. My primary criteria is large fingers and not wanting the smooth piano key type keyboard. The keyboard is a 98%'er so it bodes well. I did add the extra Gig of RAM (2).

I am very impressed with its processing power - Google earth, Gimp, Skype is awesome, battery life, weight, etc. My only real concern is it gets really hot on the bottom, but so far, no worries. My biggest disappointment was the single video card so I can only use one monitor at a time. But, since I use really large monitors have learned to adapt.

Yeah there are laptops that can produce excessive heat. Would be nice if the manufacturer would include a removable stand that elevates the bottom of the laptop off the surface so air can flow under it.

'Other suggestions" on notebooks/netbooks or suggestions from other people? :P



both! :)
i've read good and bad reviews from the one i've posted, while the one was a VERY good one..

i just want something small, light, with "good" performance.. :)
everything else i looked at is kinda expensive, lacks "power" or whatever..

An excellent ultraportable to consider is the Acer Timeline 1810T, or the upcoming 1830T (which uses the Core i3 instead). These 'netbook' like ultraportables use real CPU's rather than Atoms.

I have one of those, and love it. 11.6" screen, Core2 Duo dual-core, 1080p video capable (external BluRay drive works), HDMI output, gigabit Ethernet, latest 11n WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1, 4 gigs RAM, 320 gigs HDD, Windows 7 Professional, and 8 hour battery (6 hour real-world)

...all in a 3 pound netbook form factor!

(I paid $649 for it.)

You copy the text "Acer Timeline 1810T", then open another browser window, go to www.google.com, and paste the text "Acer Timeline 1810T". You'll get lots of links.

Not NEARLY as much sand where you live - That mouse is surrounded by it.
Even if yours is bigger and more cavernous - there is still more sand to get in his.:)
