RE: Where's Netbook's niche?

jross@... 5th Dec 2008

I have a Sony laptop with a huge display. I like it,
but it is heavy and BIG. I take it ONLY when I need
to run Windows based software.

I work at an airport that has free wifi, but our
company computers are so locked down, there are no web
sites I can get to, even ones that would benefit my
work.

I bought the Acer Aspire with the solid state drive
and Linux OS just to have a computer to get to the
web, do email and IM, and the odd document here and
there. It is the perfect solution for me.

The smart phones are nice, but the type is too small
for me to view easily. I get way to much email to
ever want it to be sent to a phone type device where I
pay by the byte.

So, I have a Razr for my phone, and my Netbook for
everything else. Perfect!
