Netbooks comments?

[BlueWorldAquatic]

I also run a computer consulting firm, Desktops, Laptops, netbooks all have their purpose.

I personally use a 9" Acer on my last vacation, and found it quite handy as it went everywhere with me in my camera bag. I was able to do everything my 15" Laptop did and more. Made it ease to look at photos than a 3" screen.

Even at home I use my netbook more than my Laptop, less bulky to deal with.

For just spreadsheets and such, depending on the size of the screen you need is what size you get. Found that the netbook was a bit more ackward to use when looking a fish lists and such.

Convience or screen size is the important thing you should look at.

I guess this 11.6" one is overkill?

picked up a Asus Eee 1005PE this afternoon.

Haven't tried on the Asus yet but did go through the checklist (Excel spreadsheets) on a 10" Toshiba, seemed find.

Yeah love everything except the trackpad which doesn't work too well (for me anyway) but I prefer a small wireless BT mouse so to me, not a huge deal. HDMI out is sweet and puts out full HD. LED backlit monitor and it's pretty powerful for the size, it's definitely not a netbook.
