For those of you who might be interested in this relatively new category
of computers, I've recently acquired a Dell Mini-9 running Ubuntu, and I
find it quite handy.
It has an 8.9" screen, about a 4 hour battery life, 512 B RAM and weighs
a little over 2 pounds. I twas given to me, but the cost at the time was
$200.00.
I'm a desktop guy, but I've found this to be very useful for quick email
chores, light surfing, and info lookups.
It boots very quickly and has a convenience factor I really like.
The drawback is a small, 6GB Solid State Hard Drive, but I've
supplemented that with a 16 GB Flash drive.
In one article the reviewer said he thought netbooks would serve as the
primary computer for half the people he knew, and I tend to agree.
