It's so light - my laptop is 4-5 times heavier!!
Small 10" widescreen but quite workable, and does everything my big Laptop does as well.
Now almost fully loaded with software, as I planned ahead.
(I managed to buy a copy of MS Office Enterprise from my company, on an employee / Microsoft scheme for about £17 - it would have cost more for a dodgey copy)!!
Microsoft allow this if you use the same software at work!!
That was a bonus!!
All registered and authorised - and working seamlessly.
DVD burning software, with an external USB DVD ReWriter, a multitude of stuff pre-loaded, a couple of my favourite Graphics programs for my photos.
It has a built in Mic, Webcam, and wireless connection for my emails and surfing!
Speedwise - possibly a touch slower than my big PC at home, but not noticabley so!
A good buy for just over £200!!

So now I am hoping I will get a wireless connection, that I can pick up, at the Apartments.
I'll let you know!!
Anyone else have any good ideas for holidays!!

what make of netbook is it tony,i use an advent 4490 and i think it is great on the move

--- End quote ---
Its an Acer Aspire One with the usual Atom Processor 1Gb Mem and 160Gb H/drive webcam etc.
Lovely bit of kit and a good keyboard.
Zimmer - you are an old Fogie!! Don't be scared of computers - embrace them,
the trick is make them work for you and don't be a prisoner of the keyboard!!
I also have a blackberry (company phone), but I don't take it abroad as work can stay at home.
I have my own Sony Eric/ phone nice and small for holidays!
But the Laptops are invaluable - even read a paper for free, skype free international calls,
no more phone cards or expensive bills!!

Zimmer:
Hi Tony

I work with the bleedin' things all day, yes I'm a Luddite,I guess ;),and I cant stand mobile phones either,being totally resistant to them being foisted on me by my employer [ or by noisy buggers who feel they have to have everyone know what their talking about]
"Hello Rog? I'm just going into a tun....    I'm out of it now"
,no when I go away I go away [ although this year I shall be watching TV ]I rarely buy a newspaper,we have news up to our eyeballs everywhere we go,I'm not sure I need a laptop for that and, anyway, I leave that to my son who carries a phone that does everything bar make a piece of toast,last thing I want is to phone people when I'm on hols, especially my eldest lol
Long live the Meldrews!  ha ha

[ps wife has a basic MT ]

swedebasher:
I'm with Zimmer on this, down with tech stuff on holidays. Only cameras, still and camcorder. We avoid even newspapers!!
