A new computer won't automatically hot link for you. I kid, I kid. Check out www.tigerdirect.com for more computers. I've seen a few with 2 gigs, 120GB, and Vista Home there before. |

Buy.com had IBM T43 Thinkpads recently for $300 I think. A friend at work bought one.
ETA: T43 reconditioned, not quite the specs you want but RAM is cheap. http://www.buy.com/prod/ibm-thinkpad-t43-notebook-intel-pentium-730-1-6ghz-512mb-ram-40gb-hdd/q/loc/101/210541411.html |

My secondary is an ASUS 901. It's micro, and I can coax 9 hours out of the battery. The kicker? The only moving part is it's cooling fan...
The downside, it comes stock with a 4 gig drive, and a 16 gig secondary. It's all flash.... I boot os's to suit my needs off a thumb drive Comes with one gig'o ram, I upp'd it to 2. total price tag, $550, and can fit in an ACU cargo pant

| Does anyone know anything about HP Mini-Note, Acer , or this acer |

I'm barely keeping myself from buying an Acer Aspire One (120GB model) installing more ram and Vista on it. The Mini-Note has a much better keyboard but personally I think it is a little overpriced compared to some of the other netbooks. |

Microcenter has these on right now.

I have an Acer Aspire One (Linux, 512K RAM 8GB SSD w/8GB SDHC expansion card) and I enjoy using it. HOWEVER, it's a secondary computer. If I were to buy a netbook as a sole 'puter I'd look at something with a 10" screen. Acer is going to intro a 10" Aspire netbook in a month. HP, ASUS, MSI, Samsung, Lenovo and Dell all have 10" or larger netbooks. The two biggest dealbreaker for most folks is the keyboard and the battery. Most of the larger Asus netbooks have 6 cell batteries as does the Samsung. I've also noticed that there are fewer new netbooks being marketed here with Linux as the OS and only ONE (Sylvania G Meso) that uses Ubuntu. Dell's least expensive netbook was supposed to have it but I've never heard of anyone taking delivery on a Mini 9 w/ubuntu let alone read a review. |

You get what you want, but that's a Netbook with an 8.9" screen, it's not a laptop. |
