I say netbooks are just underpowered and (insert language here), as they
only have a slow processor and very little ram+running windows 7 home basic
most of the time. Mind you, this is coming from someone who is currently
running at least 7 applications at any one time, so when I did have a
netbook it could never handle it.

my information and statements are based on the information I gather, notices
I receive and etc off the 14 or 15 lists I am on.
and even with your added data, I still say that if it fits the need well
enough, then netbooks are fine, period end of quote.
and since the person who asked the question originally has already clarified
that he can only "trade" his unit, and does not have the cash to upgrade to
a laptop even if it better fits his needs, your and mister C's lines are
superfluous aren't they.
I wish you would just quit any sort of attention to me, but it looks like
neither one of us is going to get there wish.
there are several people who if they had said that I would retract my
statement and thank them for there updated info, but he isn't, and you
especially are not! among them!
you earn my respect, I don't give it out freely, that's a waist of effort
and mental energy most times.
hope you know what G.F.I.D. means!

Yesterday you dismissed what Charles said about netbooks. This morning the
Wall Street Journal confirmed that netbook production is down. Now you're
saying "Don't pay attention" to his experience? You have a lot to
contribute, but you're also often wrong. I wish you'd show more respect.

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
comfortable 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.

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
