New netbook

Thanks for the help. yea when I got my dell 11 inch netbook I had to take it in so they could download my little video player that came with it. I like the netbooks cause they are smaller and lighter. I just got the 7 inch for when I am in like a book store or Paneras where I go to unwind. I only do mylot and another work site I write assignemnts on so it will be nice to carry a smaller one. Showed it to my son's friend last night who is a computer geek and he freaked out at seeing a tiny laptop netbook so little LOL

Yes Barb, I like my netbook over a full size laptop. I have a Dell netbook that is like 11 inches and only weighs like 3 lbs. I had a gateway laptop that weighed like 10lbs because of the DVD/CD player in it has to be larger. I like the smaller ones as they are easier to carry to book shops or Paneras Bread where I will sometimes go and have a bagel and cup of tea. the new one I just got is only 7". It will fit easily in my purse. I was going to get one of the new tablets but I like the netbook because it looks just like a regular laptop and closes so the screen does not get scratched up. I just have to get it configured since its new and get the wifi working right on it. K-Mart had them for 99.00 and I had 63.00 on my K-Mart rewards so I only paid like 49.00 for it with taxes and warrenty. Could not beat that savings at all. And I don't have to pay 30.00 to 79.00 a month for a cell phone contract like I would have had to have with a tablet all the companies are coming out with. I figured if one bellied up I would have a new one...

So, do they only work with wifi? You make a good point about the screen getting scratched on a tablet. There's a business idea for you: tablet cosies...

yes they work with wifi. i REALLY like tghe idea. But like any nwe tihng it takes a minue to learn. it will be verfy easy and portable to carry around.
