12" screen? There are a few netbooks available with 12.1" screens, but most will have 10.1" screens. You'll want a netbook with the latest generation of Atom N450 processor. I have an Acer 10.1" netbook that is absolutely quiet. I'm not sure it even has a fan. You might also consider 11.6" screens. Here's an ASUS netbook with a 12.1" screen: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220760 The only thing I'd be concerned about is the ION video. The added chip may push the system into requiring a fan. One nice thing about the netbooks with 11.6" and 12.1" screens is that they don't fit the Microsoft definition of a netbook, so they usually have 2GB of RAM instead of 1GB, larger hard drives, and have Windows 7 Home Premium installed instead of Windows 7 Starter. If you opt for a 10.1" netbook you can sometimes get XP Home instead of Win 7 Starter. > No bloatware. Really?

You're not going to find too many netbooks available with an SSD (maybe those you can custom order, such as from Dell), but you can easily put an SSD in one if you think the 2.5" drive makes too much noise. -- JJZolx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81784 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
