    Why would you need 160 gigs of storage?


    How about this exact netbook, at maybe 350$ with an 80G hard drive? Or this netbook with a slightly faster processor.


    I don't understand why a functional computer designed for portable work needs 160G of space. It's not a media center. It's a netbook.

    I've been looking into netbooks for my girlfriend but she requires an external DVD-RW drive. Not terribly familiar with laptops or external drives myself (why should I bother with a computer that doesn't tower over everything in my room and illuminate the whole house especially if I can't build it?) I began looking into both of these devices. Most external drives seem to require a USB Y-cable... so wouldn't the design of this book make it terribly inconvenient on most drives?

    @Absent Blue: No. Why would it? It's as inconvenient as any USB run device would be. Slower than a proper connector, but probably still works fine.

    Is it just me, or at first glance it looks like an HP Mini 10

    I'm not exactly knowledgable with things like this... Can anyone tell me what I could actually do with this? Can I use it like a normal laptop? Is it mainly for just websites and emails? Can it runs decent games?


    I don't know specs all that well... /:

    As soon as they up that graphics card, they have a deal. I'm a graphics nut.

    @MosesMonster: Well, it will be a while before sub-$500 laptops can run Crysis. However, there might be a future for dedicated HD video chips in netbooks...
