Quoting Ranbo <[email protected]>:
But from the responses, guess a netbook can't be a full substitution for a desktop (what I have now) or a laptop, if it doesn't have CD or DVD drives. I was hoping to be able to substitute a laptop (which I don't think I can afford presently) or netbook for a regular Dell desk top, but sounds like netbooks would be more of a supplement. Other than the lack of drives and maybe keyboard size, sounds like it could do most of what I would need, though.
How about a "nettop"? MSI's got a barebones for $150 at Newegg <http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856167037&cm_re=msi_wind-_-56-167-037-_-Product>. Add a drive, a burner, and memory and you're out the door for probably less than $300. I'd bet you have a mouse, keyboard and monitor floating around (maybe even an extra drive and/or burner).
