Netbooks: Netbooks ....A question or two
Netbooks ....A question or two
by Aquarius_83 - 11/3/09 12:51 PMI want to get a laptop but with tight funds I need to least expensive thing I can get which is pointing me in the direction of the netbook. Sears has an Acer for $229. I can put it on layaway. I want to know if I can do the following things on it:
Upload photos to Photobucket - I use this alot to make scrapbook pages and such and order them online to pick up at Target.
Download music - We used to use a program called 360 Share Pro. Like $24 a year to download stuff - Want to transfer these to an mp3 player, not neccesarily keep a ton of music on hardrive.
Surf the web - I read a seperate discussion about netbooks and someone said the video quality sucks. Is this true.
That's pretty much it.
They run fine on the internet, wired and wireless
by Steven Haninger - 11/3/09 1:29 PM In reply to: Netbooks ....A question or two by Aquarius_83so uploads/downloads proceed like any other PC. Yes, the video quality is far from terrific but I'd consider these for what they are. They are meant to be your traveling PC and not your workhorse PC. Of course if you're going to do P2P, you'd be well off to get one that include recovery media or make that the first thing you create and learn to use.
best netbook i've seen so far...

Looks like it has faster memory and a much better GPU than the 'standard' netbook configuration. It does cost a little more, but I think this computer COULD potentially be used as a person's main computer if it had to be.
