Plus it is simple to use. I don't need a lap top for much more than writing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03951929661678724819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1746050382328975047.post-69740498440478420362010-06-08T19:29:21.904-04:002010-06-08T19:29:21.904-04:00Thanks for the tip.

The screen is smaller, of course, which can make some types of editing more difficult, and the keypad isn't very user-friendly, but the fact that it's so easy to carry makes up for that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1746050382328975047.post-30450507539015653972010-06-08T16:56:01.516-04:002010-06-08T16:56:01.516-04:00Thanks for this tip!

The touchpad is not my favorite, but that's only one small detail.<br /><br />The one thing anyone who's considering getting a netbook may want to keep in mind is the price of all the software. Between Office software, security software, and Windows (yes, once upon a time, Windows was free), it definitely should be factored into the purchase cost.<br /><br />Thanks Daren and thanks Casey!<br />MarissaMartina Boonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03358736828122139189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1746050382328975047.post-90235245456466768202010-06-08T15:52:59.302-04:002010-06-08T15:52:59.302-04:00Whoa, I should definitely get one of those... uh, ...Whoa, I should definitely get one of those... uh, when I become rich. $300 is a little much in my opinion.Empress Awesomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07712340272157084662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1746050382328975047.post-25651897515960489112010-06-08T15:47:23.526-04:002010-06-08T15:47:23.526-04:00I looked at notebooks when I was deciding what to ...I looked at notebooks when I was deciding what to get.
