I've got an Acer mini for the field. Best tool I ever got. 6 cell, battery
literally last me all day if you use proper energy saving settings. It
weighs hardly anything and I stick it in a backpack and hike it up a tower
all the time. The only thing I wish it had was an anti-glare screen. Those
It's all depends on what your needs are. Sure, compared to a higher grade
CPU, the Atom is slower but it does job. You get used to the keyboard. I
agree the screen can be annoying at times but weight overrides that for me.
I'd never recommend it as a primary computer, just a field unit.

Works best in the winter. I can stick it under my coat to see the screen!

Hey guys,
We are looking to get a pair of new Laptop/Netbook computers for use in
the field. These would be in for installs, dispatching, troubleshooting,
speed testing, all of that general use stuff.
We aren't looking for a lot -- just a GigE NIC, 10.1 or bigger screen
(one that works well
Dell Mini? Asus EEE?
Why do you need GigE?

I was looking at a netbook (and actually uBid borked my auction).
8.9 screen, 8 GB SSD HDD, 2GB RAM, wifi and LAN. Not sure I really
need more than that for installs\tower climbing.

Because we deploy 100Mbps+ links.
Yeah looking into EEE Seashells -- look good, just verifying the GigE part.
Thanks.

I've been using Netbooks for half a year now, they are so much more
handy to carry than a full-sized unit. I have all the diagnostic tools
I need on it, the screen is bright in the sun and it lasts the whole
day, easily, on one charge. My installer lost one and it was $300 to
replace, not
have you used any of those minis? I would suggest borrowing one for a
week first. I get more use out of my Droid then the netbook. There are
Android tables that would do better for a pure install type device,
namely with the touch screen vs kb and can be cheaper then a net/mini.
Net/Minis really
Are these laptops and netbooks actually capable of pushing 100mbps?
Or are you just verifying the gigabit link works?

I'm not for sure, hard to find much out about anyone who has actually
tested that. I believe I have found what I'm looking for though in the
Acer Aspire One AO721. GigE, hell of a price, and lots of nice features.
If we go with that one, I'll test out that GigE performance and report back.

We send our crews out with the Linux ASUS EeePCs. They have been good
performers with quick booting. Order extra keyboards as they seem to
be the weak link on these.

SSDs typically have lower power consumption than HDDs and, as a
consequence, laptop manufacturers are starting to embrace them as optional
replacements to standard HDDs
