|
 |
Hi folks,
The situation is as following. Some of you might know, or don't, that I am doing bio-informatics as a job. So it basically means I am analyzing loads of biological data in collaboration with biological people who have no clue about informatics or IT in general. In short, I have to travel a lot short distances to other departments, but more and more international to show them processed data, or explain them all sorts of things.
So atm i have a whopping 17" 3.3kg Dell laptop which is too fucking big to travel with and which is way so clumsy to put it in handluggage. But then again it is a 'mobile workstation' which is not so mobile at all to be honest.
So the situation is explained. I am looking for a cheap, light, small netbook. All it needs to do is go online, store some code i am making while i am on trains or planes or in a car and connect to other servers with telnet. So basically i need some pentium I inside or so...
I was thinking about the following specs
* 7-8 inch screen 1024pix
* <1kg
* max 1GB RAM
* no DVDR
* low-end CPU
* no need for biggie HDD
* high battery life
*250-350 euro price range
All right. I have been looking around on the internet, but i cannot find a decent online store shipping in Europe, preferably Belgium. And if there is a shop, there are only 10-11" models and mostly only a single model.
My question is twofold:
1) Recommend me a useful model
2) Recommend me an online store or a store in Belgium where i can go and buy at decent prices
thanxzzzz

Bunch of people at my uni (students and professors) use those mini things (Asus EEEEEE, Acer One, etc.) they are light, small and do the job. My friend has EEE with ubuntu on it, he says his battery life is really good. The only thing that bothers me on EEEEEE is the keyboard, which is small. But other than that those mini netbooks do look practical...

My missus has the EEE 901 and she absolutely loves it. Obviously not going to be gaming on it, or doing any Photoshop/Painter work, but for what they're made for; they're great fun and have amazing battery life.

Spankie, How do you like your new laptop? Bio-informatics is an interesting and heavy job, how is it working out for you on the new computer.
