MSI U135-411US 10-Inch Blue Netbook - 7.5 Hour Battery Life Review

I almost jumped on the Asus bandwagon…until MSI came out with this netbook. The U135 is basically an improved version of the MSI wind 100 series. Chicklet style keyboard, bigger touchpad, and a 250gb hard drive. It comes with 1gb of intergrated ram and an extra slot if you want to upgrade (I used 1gb crucial memory; just need to unscrew the entire bottom panel…wont void the warrenty either)

Acer Aspire One AOD250-1924 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - 7.5 Hour Battery Life Review

The conversion of this netbook from WinXP to dual boot Win/Ubuntu-9.10 took less than an hour; the easiest dual-boot system I’ve ever done. Simply (1) remove the crufty add-on useless promo programs on the Win side and defrag (2) boot to Ubuntu … ah you think, no cd/dvd drive, how? a bootable USB drive ! (3) use parted or gparted to shrink the Win partition (4) boot to Win, and chkdsk. (5) reboot the USB stick and install Ubuntu.

With the S10-2 Lenovo played a game of give and take.

Dell mini 10v netbook. Intel Atom processor N270~10.1 Inch Widescreen Display (1024 x 600)~Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 950~120GB Hard Drive~Obsidian Black Color~Windows XP~ 24WHr Lithium-Ion Battery (3-cell)~1 year warranty Review

I love this little computer. I use it for internet and using MS Office. It does all of that perfectly with XP Home. I have zero issues with speed and connectivity is great. I especially appreciate the battery life - I get (without any power saving features enabled) about 3 hours of real world use. I bought a cheap external USB DVD drive to ease loading software. I have no trouble networking it with two Win 7 computers on my home network.

Samsung N150 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - Up to 7 Hours of Battery Life Review

I like this Netbook. BUT it’s barely functional without 2GB of Ram. I’m no geek, the difference is incredibly noticeable. I had big problems with Flash at sites like Hulu and reviews said that the Atom processor can’t really run flash but not true - the problem was trying to run it with the 1GB. With 2GB this netbook will do everything you need it to do.

Gateway LT2032u 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - Over 7 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter) Review

I searched for a netbook for about a week and found that I could get a Toshiba netbook at Best Buy for about the same price that had a slightly faster processor but a smaller hard drive. I decided to go with the Gateway because of the 250 GB hard drive instead of the 120 GB. The slight increase in processor speed on the Toshiba just could not offset the Gateways price of 0 out the door with the larger hard drive. I upgraded the memory to the 2 GB max( Crucial 2GB 256Mx64PC2-5300 CT25664AC667 DDR2 200-Pin SODIMM Laptop Memory )which really makes a difference only for downloading files or watching video. The battery life seems to be about what is advertised, or maybe slightly better. I removed Norton’s and installed freeware for anti-virus and spyware and will probably remove the Microsoft Office suite because I don’t want to pay 0 for it. For as little as I expect to use it I don’t think that it is worth it on this netbook. I really only expect to use it for traveling which will consist of web use and email, and maybe video chat occasionally. It is built very solidly, and has great styling. As another reviewer stated, the battery does add about an inch to the depth over other netbooks, but this is only an issue for finding a sleeve to carry it in to protect it. I found a sleeve at Wal-Mart (also here at amazon.com) by Targus( Targus 10.2-Inch Slipskin-Peel Netbook Case )that looks great and fits perfectly. It comes in burgundy colored trim that matches exactly. It is slightly more here at amazon.com unless you get the blue trimmed one, which is about half the price as Wal-Mart. If you are looking for a full time computer, a netbook is not for you, but if you want mobility at a great price then I highly recommend this Gateway.
