Here we go again!
Well, I need one, as topic stated.
As I'll be spending most my 3rd uni year in foreign countries I'll be needing a laptop. Yet, I know shit of it, so can't really decide that well, nor know what is good or not, I have been looking around on the net quite a bit though.
I got a few preferences, such as;
- My budget is around 400 euro (can be a little over it) as I won't need it for gaming, neither do I want to spend much money on this.
- I don't want an ubersized laptop, I'm more going towards the netbooks, though I think 10" is a little too small (for typing large reports etc. for uni) so e.g. - between 11" and 14" would be cool.
- My main preferences would be the ability to multitask a bit, like having music playing, browsing, MS Word, MSN etc. without having much delay.
- Apart from the above, I want it to be able to play HD movies (downloaded ones especially, 1080p) movies on youtube can be 720p but prefer full HD anyway.
I recently found the Asus 1201N and 1201PN, from which I preferred the 1201N since it had a dual core proc. but that one has been taking out of stock and doesn't seem to be coming back. I can still buy the 1201PN but I'm not sure. Both are 12.1" which seems to be a great size.
That's about it I think, I know most here know more about PC's than I do, so any advice?

I guess every laptop will suit your needs, there isnt really much to talk about it. :)
You could also buy a Ipad, but its gonna cost you a bit more i think.

Normal laptops are a bit to big for my taste, and weigh to much to carry it with you all the time lol :P

I dont think its that bad... Its just not for every normal person, since its less usefull than a laptop and people like you expect it to be as usefull. And since its not, you say its shit. Im not gonna buy it too, since its not really usefull to me too, so its not worth for me to spend that much money for something i dont really need since im not rich.

So far , it's useful for nobody.. It's just a piece of crap made for fanatic people who wanna follow every new jewels of technology and trash money...but in the end it's worth nothing
i strongly recomend NOT buying asus. the cheapest deal is if u can find companies who make laptops "on demand" so u can chose what MB/video ets u want. the other stuff is ...well yeah they make the lcd displays in 1 factory, the memory chips in 2 other. w/e u buy for the money u have will have basicly the same shiats inside( and i mean in type and quality of manufacture , too).
p.s. asus saks. apple rox
What to do 1080p videos when netbook screen resolution is even lower than 720p :D

Waste of money ^^
acer aspire 1410 or 1810, not sure, anyway check this one with single processor
dunno if they still sell it or some new replacement came
p.s. dunno about 12' (1366*768), but i can tell you it's really uncomfortable to work (means writing in word and searching on web what to write) on 10' (1024*600), mostly because of screen height
however perfect for watching videos etc
for the goals u describe, I guess the only things u need to check are battery durations and weight....
I guess all laptops nowadays can be used for the targets you give :P

I'm only using 1 site, since it's company of a friend and I'm getting discount there, it's Dutch site though :P
It seems the 1201N is getting back in stock in august though, so I might be getting that one afterall! (hopefully silver one)
