It's a Netbook, but it's not a bad little bugger. I've got a 16GB SSD and 2GB RAM.

It's not quite as snappy as OSX on a Mac Pro and MBP, for the little more than $200 I paid for it on Craiglist, it does the trick. I bought it to fuck around with and have fallen in love.

It plugs in my phone and I've got Sprint 3G broadband wherever there's coverage.

If you keep a hawk's eye on the Dell Outlet, you can sometimes find the barebones models for a tad over $150.

I've installed it on a few different computers...it's not easy to do just any computer, but the Dell Mini 9 is by far the easiest. There are already a bunch of premade ISOs and installer files. Pretty much anyone here could do it, even Ozarkz.
