Does anyone have a mini netbook? If so can you tell me how many usb ports they have? I’ve looked all over the internet and no one seems to answer this question. I need atleast two to send machine embroidry designs to my embroidry machine and still be able to use a mouse. One of thse would be great because they are cheap and would save me from having to move my machine to the computer and also if I drop it accidently I only lose $300!

I’ve got an Asus eee and I love it. (Keep it as a live backup and for those times when I want to carry a small laptop.) Anyway, plenty of USB ports, this one has three:

You can buy a e machine or Acer laptop with a dual core Pentium and 2 mb ram, plus a large hard drive for about the same price at Walmart. They usually have 4 usb ports on most laptops.

Alternatively, you could always buy a USB hub for a USB port challenged notebook.

Mine has two or three, I forget. I’m not on it at the moment. Buy a refurbished one on ebay for under $200 and your argument has even MORE merit....

I paid $155 shipped for my Asus 8.9 inch Linux version. I want a 10” for the better keyboard.

If there is even one USB it is easy to add on as many USB ports as you need.

All you need is one, to which you can attach a USB Hub.

Posting from an Asus EEE 1000HA. It has three USB ports.

I have upgraded it from 1GB to 2GB RAM. When I get the $$$ together, I will replace the 160GB hard drive with a solid state hard drive (a 64GB drive costs around $300). With the 6-cell battery, I figure my battery life will be over 10 hours!

Love this little toy!

Try looking at these:

ASRock NetTop ION 330

***************************EXCERPT*********************************

At the rear of the ION 330 are the DC power connector , S/PDIF, three analog audio ports, Gigabit Ethernet, six USB 2.0 ports, one HDMI port, and then a VGA D-Sub connector.

Manufacter Site:

ASROCK NetTop Series

Not sure who is selling this....Newegg sells their motherboards but I don't see the ION as yet....
