Netbooks ? Anyone have one

I use a notebook at work sometimes which sounds very similar.

If I'm at work I can plug in the usual network cable and it works off that.

If I'm working from home I attach a 3g card.

I can also set it up to work from a broadband wireless connection. Your internet provider will be able to tell you if broadband is available in your area. If you can get broadband you should be able to go wireless.

The new laptop that I got for Christmas is in this category I think but I know no technical information about it!!!

It's called Eee PC and it's 1000H model. It's got a 10 inch screen and the battery lasts over 6 hours. Santa bought it on reccommendation from son who knows about these things and has one from work. So far, so good, but don't ask me any tech questions!!

Thanks for posting those. The keyboard doesn't look as tiny as I had thought it might be, good! Am really thinking about this.

BM, all I want to do with it is e-mail, Google and Catsey! I have the Mac for other stuff, not that I do music or DVDs on it either..

Actually I only want one so I can be out on the porch or in the garden during the nice weather rather than indoors. I''d thought about the Apple laptop, but it's really too pricy for an indulgence, plus has too many features I neither want nor need. The netbooks are simpler and cheaper; think they might be a bit more user friendly also, with less features. And the icing on the cake is that you can get then with Linux; would never have Windows!
