Looking for Ultra Portable Notebook for work. Need suggestions. - Blu-ray Forum

Footloose301 · 09-12-2008, 12:46 AM

You heard it!

I've been looking at the Asus Eee PC 900's, and the Cloudbooks.

I'm leaning more towards the Eee PC because I'd really like the SSD.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=220278263087

Anybody have suggestions?

What I want.
-Atleast 1GB RAM
-SSD of 8GB or more....possibly the 4GB
-No larger than the 8.9" screen. (I want as small as possible)
-Want to keep it under $300, but $350 is ok.

Thanks guys.

You should with that one then. I don't know how confortable you are with ebay. For what it's worth, in all my years on ebay I've never had a issue.

Also, price. I spent nearly $4000 on the MacBook Pro with all the upgrades I have, but I'm not bringing it to people's homes. I want something that I won't cry about if it breaks lol.

I'm fine with eBay. I've done good and never been burned.

Just looking for some opinions on some of these UMPC netbooks.

Well if it has all the options that you're looking for, then go for it.

MSI Wind & Dell Mini 9

At this point I'm considering the Mini 9 with Ubuntu.
