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.
