Best netbooks to buy. - GoFuckYourself.com

AnimeFevers · 10-14-2010, 02:16 PM

I'm thinking of getting a new netbook because my laptop is a little to big to carry around.

Just wondering what are the best netbooks around these day. The best value for money would be good.

I really like my Toshiba NB-200, whatever the latest Toshiba is, is probably pretty slick. Only complaint I have is that the speakers are garbage. My Lenovo Ideapad has way better speakers, but is a total shitbox. Only downfall was those crap speakers though, but I usually wear a headset with the netbooks anyways...

Toshiba = Thumbs up
Lenovo = Thumbs down

No opinion on any others...

Thanks AJC. I was looking at the Eee pc 1005HA Seashell. Looks preety sweet, anyone know if this is a good netbook?

anexsia · 10-14-2010, 02:34 PM

A year ago I was using an MSI Wind...can't remember the model number but I really liked it. You made a good choice on thinking about purchasing a netbook, they really come in handy.

I'll have a look at some of the msi wind netbooks. I was thinking of getting a samsung or asus though. I usually buy something that's the worst value for money, I wanna get a good netbook that will last me a while.

AnimeFevers · 10-14-2010, 05:44 PM

Are there anymore suggestions? Won't bump this again though I'll just read some boring reviews on a couple of my favorite netbooks so far and pick one.

PastorSinAlot · 10-14-2010, 05:46 PM

pamon · 10-14-2010, 06:03 PM

I have the 1005HA. Advertised as 8.5 hours battery, I get about 6-7 depending on what I do.

I really like it, would definitely recommend it

bronco67 · 10-14-2010, 10:06 PM

asus eee pc seashell rocks

icymelon · 10-15-2010, 01:06 AM

I had a gateway netbook loved it until I spilled a cup of water on it. lasted about 10 hours on a battery charge which I never could believe. I guess not having a cd helps.

Socks · 10-15-2010, 01:12 AM

I had one, returned it.. Couldn't figure out the point really. I hated typing with it.

GatorB · 10-15-2010, 01:23 AM

I'd wait a few more weeks until the dual-core netbooks come out.

netbooks are very VERY slow. I just bought Lenovo Idea Pad V360-3 for my GF
it's pretty small and very powerfull with intel i3 quad core processor, fingerprint sensor, led lamp etc... and just for $800

$800 vs $300-$350 for a netbook. I think you fail to get the purpose of a netbook. Anyone buying a netbook to be a replacement for PC or notebook is a moron. The purpose of a netbook is so one can do e-mail and BASIC websurfing while not having to carry a large bulky laptop or have to use a something as small as a smartphone. And for that purpose a netbook does it's job just fine.

facialfreak · 10-15-2010, 03:20 AM

I have an Acer Aspire One for almost 2 years now, and I LOVE IT!!!

I bought the 9 cell 7900mAh battery upgrade off of ebay, and now get easily 7.5 hours use from a single charge (and yes I have a hard drive - first one had SSD and it was constantly hanging on me - getting the hard drive Windows XP flavor netbook solved any problems)

I have a triple boot set up with Window7, Windows XP (for my VirtualDJ), and Ubuntu Netbook Remix ...

I chose the Acer Aspire One, simply because they are the most popular netbook going, and compatibility means alot to me (aftermarket accessories etc)

I also have a slimline DVD-RW, and a Western Digital 250GB 2.5" external Hard drive to use as a digital wallet when downloading pics from my Canon Rebel Xti

I do not do any heavy resource-intensive tasks on the road, so having a 2 pound netbook as opposed to a full 8 pound laptop is very appealing to me!

My entire kit - with the netbook, wireless mouse, external DVD and hard drives, weighs a total of 3.5 pounds ... portability ROCKS!!!

nico-t · 10-15-2010, 04:44 AM

ive got a dell netbook, its perfect for my needs. plus it fell on the floor 2 times and it still works.

MrBottomTooth · 10-15-2010, 04:49 AM

Just make sure whatever one you get doesn't come with Win7 starter. That is total crap. Make sure it has Home Premium or you will immediately be shelling out another $90 or whatever it costs to upgrade from starter.

Chosen · 10-15-2010, 10:42 AM

I wold get myself MSI, Asus or Acer netbook with 11.6" or 12".

myneid · 10-15-2010, 10:54 AM

fuck netbooks. just get an ipad with a bluetooth keyboard.

madtwin · 10-15-2010, 02:20 PM

Acer Aspire One with custom Windows XP install

quiet · 10-15-2010, 02:52 PM

it's not really the same, but i recently got a macbook air via my airmiles, and it freaking rocks. full size keyboard, solidstate hd, fast, super tough, and *extremely* thin and light. so great for travel.

mafia_man · 10-15-2010, 03:31 PM

I've got a HP 311 it does crawl although I can upgrade the RAM to 3GB, it's got a decent screen on it and Nvidia ION GPU.

I only use it to do dev work on so it isn't running anything more than mysql, apache and java/python/ruby/php.

candyflip · 10-15-2010, 04:46 PM

When I'm not raping my own ass, I have two little Dells.

I installed OSX on both of them, but after installing the new Ubuntu 10.10 on one of them, I will be switching the other as well.

They are perfect for trips to the bathroom and we always have one in the diaper bag when we leave the house.
