[quote name='JolietJake']Well if you want to go the netbook route i'd get something from Asus. I really like the 1201n, though i think an updated version is due out soon too. If you don't transport your laptop much you might just consider a normal full sized system. That's why i bought a netbook, got tired of lugging a heavier laptop around.[/QUOTE]
I like the idea of smaller -- easier to carry with me if I have some reason too... takes up less space... and I don't use it for much. Basically, it just covers what I can't get away using my work computer for. Browsing NSFW sites and the like. I was running some Steam games on the laptop that's now dead (Audiosurf, Plants vs. Zombies, Torchlight)... and that was in Windows 7 Home with 1 GB of ram... as to whether a Netbook could handle those? I don't know.
What's the upgraded model of the 1201n supposed to be?
