Universe Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Guy repairing my laptop said it would be cheaper just to buy a netbook so was wondering how anyone's netbook is and if it's worth the buy or just repair the laptop. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papertrail Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 I have one, I love it. It's so compact, it goes anywhere with you. I use it as a laptop as I bought one with a pretty big hard-drive and then bought some extra RAM for it later on. Really the only thing it lacks is a CD Drive, but I bought an external one just in case I ever needed it for anything when I had some extra money. I'd definitely recommend it for you, you get more than what you actually pay for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenneral Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 I have one hooked up to a large monitor. I'm honestly thinking about going back to a laptop. The keyboard is so small it makes it tough to type large things at once and the screen (if you don't hook it up to a larger monitor) is also very small. Also, netbooks can run slower on certain sites with a lot going on. For example... this site runs a little bit slower than on my other computer. My guess is it's because so many graphics and what not need to be processed through this tiny, little machine. If I were you I'd almost rather just stick with the laptop.

papertrail Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Can you use microsoft word and stuff on it or is it simply just for internet? Mine came with word and all the Microsoft works software already on it. I also use Photoshop on it, does pretty much the same stuff as a Laptop. It's just a size difference really.

Guest N4S Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 I'm thinking of buying one soon just for the hell of it. Probably when i get some extra $ from the holidays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
