Anyone have or know anyone with one of these?

AS1005HAWT | Eee PC 1005HA Seashell 10.1 inch Pearl White NetBook | BuyDig.com

I'm thinking of buying it but can't find any in a retail store. CNET has a good rating for it though.

 

^ looks nice for the price but i don't know sh*t about technology, gadgets, and this stuff. worst person to ask. i'm still sporting an IBM laptop from 2005

 

dell from 2006 for me lol

 

I think we have one of these in the office. If you aren't impulse buying this weekend, I should able to test drive it some on Monday and give you my opinion.

 

that would be great I made a laptop thread before about finding an 8" netbook.. i've decided to get something more in the 10-11" range now though.

I'm going to continue looking and probably won't actually buy for another couple of weeks.

 

i think these netbooks have a very limited use. i bought a Acer 13" one with Atom processor. i swear it's such a dog that even a Pentium III processor from 4 yrs ago beats it in speed. keyboard even at full size was hard to type bc of limited feel. i had a it sitting around after a couple wks and eventually returned it.

if u want something for very light surfing or for skype, it's okay. iphone does it better for less. 10" is still too small.

asus as a brand sucks! same with acer. i'd avoid buying any of these brands. when it comes to laptop, i stick to toshiba. you can get a 13.3 that performs well with reliability. granted, it will be heavier and battery power will be less.

 

You're basing this statement off of what? imo toshiba sucks as a brand, but that doesn't mean it really does suck.

I've used netbooks before and not for a second have i thought "wow, the iphone is better than this."
