Hi Just read the blerb about it on the site, it mentions the optical drive but is it a writer as well as a reader? Also, doesn't say, does it run windows vista or xp and will supernova run on it? didn't quite get the processor speed and don't think it mentioned ram, any ideas?

Can you provide ore information about this netbook? A cd drive will add an extra 300 grams to the weight so are you sure it isn't an external drive your referring to? Also, most netbooks are physically incapable of having a drive mechanism inside them as they are too narrow and thin. There is no reason why netbook hard drives can't get bigger since its a 2.5 inch SATA hard drive that's employed in the majority of them, however manufacturers are price conscious and since netbooks are designed for low performance travel computing, hard drive size is not going to be excessive. All the best, Ibrahim. ----- Original Message ----- From: Spring.flower To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, June 04, 2009 7:15 PM Subject: [access-uk] netbooks again Hi Haven't had a chance to have a good root around yet but I've heard that there's now a netbook out that has a dvd drive in it, anyone know more and are there others with the same orjust the one? Also, are the hard drives getting any larger yet?
