Netbooks (Help)

Hey, am looking to buy a netbook. They are reasonably cheap. Just wanting one to do some writting on and what not. And they are capable of running dosbos. So that solves playing games. Got my main PC which can handle todays games. Just after something to use in me room and stuff.

Was just wondering if anyone could offer some ideas and help.

Thanks.

The best netbook is the Msi wind, get it with a 6 cell battery and the 2gb ram option if you can. I just got one about 3 weeks ago, I was in Egypt recently on tourism, it was amazing in the conditions. The internet adapter worked when it was 100f outside, and the antenna was at least 300 yards away (they werent using standard routers)

The camera is great, the microphone is also very good, the monitor is crystal clear, the keyboard is responsive

The MSI wind is at a good price, just make sure you get it with the 6 cell battery. Also, get the 2gb version.

The construction of the machine itself is very good compared to the Acers and Asus that i've seen. Also, I can get about 4 hours out of the 6 cell battery when im browsing the internet. Maybe a little less if im listening to music at the same time. There is nothing wrong with it so far, and according to Pc shopper magazine, this is the best rated netbook so far. Of course mine isnt from the U.S, I have a Hungarian version with a Hungarian keyboard, but its the same machine.

well on their website it doesnt give the most detail but their standard battery gives 6 hours battery life so i would assume the 9-cell would give close to 10 hours at least.

The 9 cell version should get you about 6 hours. Again, the differences come in terms of quality and user ability. There is no definite netbook that you need to buy, its up to you whether you want a good Msi quality netbook, or lets say an Hp quality netbook. The msi wind got a score of 8.7 in the Pc shopper magazine, which is over .5 more than the Asus did.
