Looking at the myriad of netbooks available nowadays, I start to become attracted to having a small portable albeit low functionality laptop by my side when outside my studio room & the house. Sure, at the very least, I will have the ability to surf the internet & sync the netbook with my Bluetooth gadgets. Netbooks like the Asus EEE PC1000H (USD$>450) have wireless b/g/n & Bluetooth connectivity. Another contender that can be seen on the netbook horizon nowadays is the Acer One (the cheapest netbook in the market ATM: USD$350 plus) & Lenovo IdeaPad S10 (about the same price as the above Asus model). For avid mobile internet surfers; having a netbook sure beats lugging about a few extra kilos of laptop equipment everyday.
Nowadays, netbooks are becoming more useful as the storage space becomes decent sized of 80GB plus. I am considering buying an Asus EEE PC1000H with windows XP. I could use the 80GB hard drive to as a backup hard drive for my pc, upgrade to 2GB memory, & chuck it into my backpack wherever I go to be constantly connected to the internet via wireless b/g/n, write some documents, read emails, blog, do some programming, & perhaps even attempt some basic photo editing! Yes, buying an Asus EEE PC1000H seems to make more sense to me now. Perhaps I will buy the Asus EEE PC1000HA because it is at a cheaper price (about USD $50 less) without the wireless N & Bluetooth but with 160GBof HDD space!
