You need to shut off all of the crap running in the background.  A netbook should have no problem at all running a browser and word processing software.

Nevermind, my home was broken into Tuesday afternoon and the netbook and my wife's MacBook were stolen.  :cry

Sorry to hear that though, what a bummer.

Insurance is paying 100% for all the items stolen (sometimes it is good to have an anal retentive wife who takes pictures of everything we own.)  Its just that feeling of being violated and vulnerable that really sucks.  :mad:

Hijack done.

I saw the review. I'll be cheering for samsung and hoping they do beat the Ipad. It looks like a real good competitor. Sure its a smaller screen but its more portable and its not the weenie screen size of an ipod touch or mobile phone. built in flash and who knows what else (actual USB ports? without having to buy idiotic apple adapters? *joygasm*).

Its not out yet.. and like all things I wont be buying the first couple of models until they up the goods on it and squash the bugs.

I like :)


Saggs: The difference I find between a netbook and the ipad is true portability and comfort of use. Ive found netbooks (and even the ultralight small laptops) to be a hassle to use when you're on the move.. like on the train, plane seat, out in the park, etc. That is where the ipad's touchscreen takes a huge lead. No flippin' keyboard, handwriting recognition (with applets) and an interface so intuitive even my granny can use it. Little bit more expensive? yeah.. its apple and yeah you get charged for the logo. However until the samsung posted above comes out or something else comes on the market, there is just no competition to it.
