I have been thinking of getting one of the cheap "netbooks" that have appeared over the last year or so. Today I saw an Acer and a Toshiba that both had 1gb of RAM and a 100+GB hard drive and were running XP. That seems like the ideal travel computer to me, something that has plenty of storage space for downloaded photos and is able to run the usual windoze and Adobe apps.
That last part is important (but not vital) to me and I was wondering if anyone was using one of the most recent netbooks with PS CS2 or CS3 and how you fared. I'm not expecting to do any intensive work, but was hoping to be able to download and view RAW files without spending forever waiting for the screen to redraw etc. In the past I've travelled with an ancient Toshiba Libretto running win 2000 and PS7 on 64mb. It was doable, but only just. I'm hoping to stick with the same small form factor but with much better performance. 1GB seems like it should be plenty but I have no idea how the processors in them stack up.
