I got one of those Dell Mini 9’s a few months ago and I love it. Its the same size as those portable DVD Players and allows me to have a computer with me almost anywhere I need to.

Also very handy for my ham radio stuff when out working events and such. I Love my netbook :)

Ah yes....Netbooks....Have grabbed hold of me.

I have accumulated 3 in the last year. Two EEE PC’s Linux, and one Acer Aspire XP. Good deals out there!

I'm using them more and more. The EEE PC 701 takes up the least space, runs fast, excellent wifi, simple fast Xandros in ‘Easy Mode’, or Pupeee.

I like the Acer Aspire aspire mostly for the keyboard, easy to type on with big hands for more intensive typing operations.

The Meso looks interesting with Ubuntu, Ideapad has it's good points, I lost interest in the MSI Wind, price to high with descent features and looks bland.

I've been interested in an 12” laptop, the Dell Mini 12 looked good in the beginning, not much excitement though.

I'm thinking about Ubuntu on the Acer dual boot.

Rip your movies to mpeg4 and you won’t need the DVD player at all.
