Smarterware- how do you like your netbook?
Breakdown of Smarterware Tweet netbooks
Gina Trapani, formerly of Lifehacker, now has her own great site/ blog Smarterware. I’ve been following Gina since she moved, and she always has good information to share with us all. She recently asked her Twitter buddies if they owned a netbook, and if so, what they thought of it. She was overjoyed with the number of reactions she got.
She has published a lot of these reactions, and to make it beneficial to those wondering what owners of a specific model think about it, she has it organized by netbook model. It’s a great chance to see what many different netbook owners like and dislike about their particular model. Here’s a sample to show what I mean:
atyoung: Picked up a eepc in pink at best buy for under 300 and works like a champ with a 160g HD. You can mod them too if so inclined.
silvina_g: Asus EEEPC – I have the Surf one and I’m very happy with it. No complaints at all.
cjm2576: I have an Asus Eee and love it for what it is. I wouldn’t recommend it for prolonged typing tho.. they keyboard is too small.
rfrancis: To be honest, I found the Eee that I had at work for a while not all that great to use. But it was the first gen, so who knows
jonthysell: EeePC 1000HA, $380 with 10″ screen 160GB drive, lovely machine runs XP or ubuntu great!
hassan: most critical netbook aspect? keyboard. bought an eee pc for travel, in practice its tiny keyboard is nearly unusable for me.

I’ve owned several netbooks, and liked them all for different reasons.
I guess, of the ones I’ve owned, the Dell Mini 9 was the best blend of small size with a usable keyboard. For performance, the Eee Pc 900ha kills them all. If I could blend those two, I’d have the perfect netbook.
I love mine i am using it right now to type this. The one I am using is um I think a Asus Eee pc 900 love it it’s very fast for web browsing and other basic tasks.
