Hello,
I'm looking to invest in a small netbook/notebook computer for vacation purposes. if you are an owner of a netbook/notebook computer and LOVE the one you use, can you post the name of the computer with specs or at least the full name so i can do research?

My main uses for it is to store videos for when i'm on vacation
and pictures. wi-fi might be good too but not 100% necessary.

much help is appreciated..
 
We almost bought one last night. Best Buy has a Gateway and an Asus netbook for $199 each if you want uber-cheap. I would have been fine with them, but we opted for a laptop (acer Aspire $279 instead).

Both netbooks had built in Webcams.
 
I don't know what current specs are out there at this time, but Asus and Acer are both good brands. I personally have an Asus that I use for school (I have a very nice desktop at home so I wasn't going to waste the money on a laptop for what I needed) and I love it.
 
I have an Acer that I bought specifically for vacation, so I could do my photos, surf the web, and get emails.

I love how it's small, and has a built-in card reader, but I hate the following:

- no CD burner
- keyboard is way too small and it's very difficult to type
- slow and sluggish, despite not having anything in it but a few photos

I was debating an iPad, but don't like typing on the touchscreen, and they are too expensive, so got a Netbook, but it's very tricky to use, and actually drives me batty!

I have a Dell netbook. :) The keyboard is 92% the size of a normal keyboard. I don't have anything stored on mine (pics, music, etc), that's what I use our desktop or laptop for.

There is no CD burner, but I only use it for surfing the web and email. :)
