My brother had a Dell mini notebook with him while we were waiting in the hospital waiting room last week and it was pretty cool and got me thinking that I want one. He was actually able to order a refurbished one for $175 for his wife while we were in the waiting room (I think that deal is over though).

Anyways, I guess if I got one, it would mainly be used for email/internet, watching instant netflix movies, and possibly gps later on. Also, if possible, it would be cool if I could sync it with my quickbooks for the business that is on my desktop at home. Not sure if this is possible since that's a pretty big program and not sure if I could just use a flash drive or what. (this isn't as big a deal, but would be cool if it could do that)

So, I know nothing about mini netbooks (or whatever you call them), so what are some things to look for and what are some good ones? (preferably cheap and user friendly) :laugh:

Oops, I guess I should have :search: That thread definately helps.

Maybe a mod can merge this one to that thread. :thumbup:

Yes there is that other thread, but in short, I got my acer netbook for about 320 and that's with the extended battery. I love it. I take it everywhere. It's also nice to use on the couch while I watch tv
