Hi,
The Intel Atom processor is a low power processor and is low in cost.
However, if you are not a heavy user of computer software and do not expect the
netbook to perform like a notebook/laptop then this type of processor should
fit your needs. The Atom replaced the Intel Celeron. If you wish to read more
about netbooks and other computer topics in one place try this web site:
www.komando.com
there are other places on the web in which you can search for advice such as.
CNET.
Personally I would not use the ATOM processor.
This is only my opinion of course.

Hi,
May I ask why netbooks with Atom processors should be avoided? My Asus 1015
EEE PC netbook has an Atom and it seems to work just fine.
thanks.

Like other persons in this list have already stated. Look for one without crap
software. If your options are limited, go with one that 1 have a confortable
keyboard to type. That includes all the keys you want. 2 Try to get one wiout
crap software like hp media, hp security, sony disk whatever. The less software
instal on it, the better. and 3, try to look for one with at least a 2GB ram
and an intel procesor. AMD is great, but they eat your battery like there is no
tomorrow.

any suggestions on wich net books to look for,
i was looking at a toshiba cause it has the home key end page up and down.
But I was going to try to install jaws on there demo to test it.
By the way any suggestions on how to get jaws on it.
I don't have experience with a thumb drive.
so i thought put jaws on it then uninstall it.
Thanks
Carlos

On a netbook you have to use the function key and arrow key and some
other combination get the page up, page down, and others like that. Also you
will have to set jaws to a laptop keyboard. It is a learning curve.

Hi list,
My name is Carlos I am new to the list.
I use to post once in a while years ago.
Well I just bought a net book.
my sighted friend hlped me buy it.
Its an hp net book from best buy.
Since I never had a net book i did not know what to look for.
The first thing was that when the computer was turnd on it did not go in to
windows right away instead showing some hp media thing.
I prbably could not hae figuered ou what was going on if not for my sighted
friend setting it up.o
then i found the insert but worked as a print screen first and as an insert
only in conjction of pressing the function ke.
Thats not good with jaws.
Now i just have fond out it doesn
have a home page up page down or end key.
I took it to best buy and they are goig to let me exchange it for another
on i have had it for mor thann a month so they are making an exception to there
rulesbecause the naure of the situation.
if any one has had prolems with net books like this or has any suggestions
on specific brands like please let me know.Its a nice netbook but i don't think
i could get uso not having a home key or page upor page dow or end.
thanks for any help.
The sales person in best buy suggested toshiba net books but i don't know.
Thaks
Carlos
