These are things I would use it for:

School work (I’m currently a senior in high school, so that means I’ll be going to college pretty soon)
Web browsing
Store/download/play music (Limewire + iTunes)
Store my photos
LIGHT graphics editing
LIGHT gaming (Maplestory)

I went on the HP website and customized and ideal computer; this is what I put together–

Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit

Processor: Intel(R) Atom(TM) Processor N280 (1.66GHz, 512KB L2, 667Mhz FSB)

Memory: 3GB DDR3 System Memory (1 Dimm)

Hard Drive: 320GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive

Graphics Card: NVIDIA ION with a 5-in-1 Digital Media slot (For the N280 processor)

I know netbooks are meant to be secondary computers, but do you or do you not think those features can handle the things I would use it for?

It adds up to about 0 bucks. I can’t tell if it’s be worth it or not, I really don’t know much about computers.

Maybe you could tell me if I’m better off getting a notebook instead. Maybe you can recommend some around the same price with the same specs?

I am thinking of getting the Acer Aspire 7520 but the RAM is only 1gb which is a bit small for vista. Does this notebook have an easily accessiblr Ram slot on the bottom were you can add extra Ram without taking the whole computer apart.
Or does anyone know a better laptop that can be bought for £299?

I’m thinking of buying a computer for college that I can take to my lectures. I want something small, but not a notebook. Basically something that will have all the features/programs that I will need in college..I really love how Apple Macbook looks. I’ve never used one so I wouldn’t know which features it has or how much better it is than Microsoft PCs. I just know that all of my professors use Macbooks and a lot of the student body as well. Plus apple offers discounts for college students, so when you buy a laptop, you get a free ipod touch( which my sister wants). I know thats not a good enough reason to buy a computer that costs 00, so please give me some good advice on which type of laptop I should buy.
–Oh & I’m a second year college student majoring in Poli Sci/Russian/Int’l Studies
–I need a camera & microphone because I’m involved in organizations that require me to go on Skype & speak to various people from all over the world. It’s easier to speak directly through a camera than texting.

Thanks!

I just set up a small network with my desktop PC and a notebook at home using a wireless router, the desktop PC is connected to the router, and the other one, wireless. Everything is running smoothly except for one thing: the PC doesn’t show up in the workgroup, I can access it by typing the name of the PC in the explorer address bar ( \computername ). I can copy and read the files in it, so I just wanted to know what should I do to make the computer appear in the workgroup.

I have really been wanting to start writing stories, but I’m having trouble coming up with story ideas. I have general idea, but the small details and how to start it always keep me from writing. And where would you write? In a notebook, on the computer?

I pretty much just surf online, check email, shop, and youtube, but I do have alot of music in itunes. Will this small computer be what I need? Anyone know about Acer or use a little notebook like this? Are there enough mgb for what I need to do.

It’s a long story, but ends like this: My mom has acquired a Dell Inspiron Mini 10 netbook, half paid for (0 or so), and I have the decision to either 1.) Graciously accept her paying off the rest of the money and letting me keep it, or 2.) Take it back and do some serious research to find an actual notebook for less than 0.

So, here’s the situation… I’ve been hogging my mom’s Toshiba Satellite (of some variety) that she uses for work, and it seems like a quality computer, but it’s the only notebook I’ve ever used so what do I know. Anyways. She needs her laptop back for actual work, lol, so she gave me this ultimatum mentioned above. I’ve been tooling around on the tiny Inspiron for a couple of days, and I do enjoy it… but I’m trying to think about the future. I’m going into my senior year of high school next month, and I plan on going to college, which means I’ll eventually need a laptop that can handle a bigger workload. The Mini is lightweight and has excellent portability (I travel a lot), but the screen definitely cannot handle much. I do have a desktop that I use to run Photoshop and work with my photography (also to burn CDs), so it’s not CRUCIAL my notebook is capable of this, but let’s face it… I would much prefer being able to do everything from the comfort of a recliner over a back-hurting computer desk. :) I hate the little "multi-touch pad" or whatever it is, lol, but that’s beside the point. I really do like the computer, and it’s cost-efficient.

I guess the main point is… should I keep the Mini, which is portable and efficient, or should I save up some money for a more powerful computer with a larger screen (+better resolution)? Keep in mind that my financial situation is TERRIBLE right now… I really don’t have many options over 0 for a while.

I apologize for the loooong question. Any answers are greatly appreciated. :)
