[dba-Tech] Like a Third Leg

A friend of mine does have one.  It is very light weight and easy to carry.
But the screen is small - fine for email and OK for internet browsing, but
it would be pretty lousy for any development work.  If you could use a
client's PC for any on-site support you'd be in pretty good shape.  

You may want to check reviews on NewEgg or Amazon before you select a
particular model.

Good Luck!

Subject: [dba-Tech] Like a Third Leg

I need another computer like a third lag - especially a laptop.  I have a
big Dell with a 15 inch screen that I carry around now.  But I find that I
don't really do much real development on the road and kind of minimal
customer support.  So I'm kind of enamored of the idea of a netbook because
of its small size and weight.  Mostly when I'm on the road I only want
internet access for email.  But I need to be able to run Office so I can
support customers if I have to. 

There's one at Staples, a closeout for only $225.  HP Mini Notebook 210-11
150NR - 10.1" screen, 250GBHD, !GB RAM, ^-cell battery, Atom N455 processor,
W7 starter.

Does anyone have any experience with these netbooks?  Pros? Cons? 

TIA

Rocky
