Why would you rule out the Asus EEE models? The model 904 and 1000
have the same specs that you mentioned, the only difference being
that one has an 8.9 inch display, and the other a 10 inch display. i
have an acquaintance who has the Asus EEE 900, which is the one with
the 16 GB solid state storage, and he has both JFW 10 and WE 7.01, as
well as MS Office 2003, k1000, the software for the Eyepal, and
several games, and he finds the system quite usable, even though aps
sometimes open slowly.

Hello Everyone,
A friend and I have been researching these netbook computers. We're
looking seriously at the MSI Wind model NB10060. The specs look
great with a 6 cell battery, 1.6 GHz Intel Atom processor, 160 GB
HD, Wi-Fi, etc. Others have recommended the Acer Aspire One as a
good, accessible machine with Window-Eyes, but I don't like its
specs nearly as much. Does anyone out here actually have the MSI
Wind, Acer Aspire One or another similar machine? If so, how well
does it work for you out in the real world of Internet access, note
taking and other basic uses? We plan to use them in college, so a
good solid keyboard is among the most critical attributes. Should we
really be considering these systems, or should we really think about
waiting a bit longer for this technology to develop further?
Thanks,
Darrell
