| So I'm overwhelmed with the amount of netbooks on the market right now, past and future.
any of you have a netbook that you swear by?
I'm looking at buying a eeepc named the seashell, but idk if i can put up with the gay name.
Or possibly a MSI netbook... looking for something under 400, but im willing to part with the paper for awesome features.
I'm losing my mind here, any suggestions?

| Netbooks kick ass...If you got tiny ass fingers, tried typing on one and the keys are so god damn tiny I couldn't type normally let alone imagine programming or having to effeciently type a paper for one of my classes. If you are capable of typing on one of the buggers check out the hardware they offer other wise I'd say don't get one.

| | My friend has one of the first gen HP ones. It's not too bad, it has XP on it. But I was lookin' through a local stores mailer mag just yesterday. They upped the specs on the latest ones, and it seems the Eeepc is the best buy of them all. Boosting the most RAM and HDD for the better price. His I liked, and these look good. I think they are bigger in size, they all say 98% size of normal keyboard on them. I say go for best bang for the buck cause they're so cheap, and also best battery performance.
They all run Vista Starter now so that's good, and all have VGA out on them. I like'em. But I'm gonna wait for the 3rd revisions to hit stores, hopefully they'll be able to do some HDMI and HD playback. Perfect for a tiny media center on the go.

| The only down side is it has windows 7 starter... which for some silly reason wont let you change desktop background without 3rd party software... is there anything like tweakUI for win7?
Im considering partitioning out the drive for 4 OS's: win7 , Linux, Google Chrome and an experimental partition.
other then that the seashell is an awesome netbook if you need something quick and reliable when ur mobile... AND NOT AN APPLE PRODUCT.
