I'm thinking about selling my dell inspiron and getting something smaller. I love the 17" screen that I've got on the dell, but I never take it anywhere, which is what I originally intended to do by getting a laptop. My campus is hooked up to free wireless all over campus and I'd like to take advantage of that. I don't do any gaming, and all I really need is something that has a good battery life and that doesn't overheat like my dell does. I do have a LOT of music and I like to watch movies online, so a good-sized hard drive would be preferable, but I'd be okay with getting a separate hard drive if I had too.
I'm thinking maybe something 11-12" inches would work fine.
As for price, I don't really want to spend any more than what I can sell my dell for, but I don't know if I'll be able to do that or not. The cheaper, lighter, and less fancy the better. Under $400 or so would be ideal, but might be able to swing a little more.
edit: I would like it if I could connect it to a larger external monitor as well and be able to take expandable memory if it doesn't come with enough out of the box. thanks
What do you all think of the ASUS Eee PC 1000HA 10-Inch Netbook? Seems to be decent for what I need and fine price. - Newegg.com - ASUS Eee PC EPC1000HA-WHI001X Pearl White Intel Atom N270(1.60GHz) 10.0" WSVGA 1GB Memory 160GB HDD Netbook - Netbooks
