Hii Think My Laptop Is Getting Ready to Go to the Big Cpu Cloud in

[otisbg]

Hi
I think my laptop is getting ready to go to the big CPU cloud in the sky. This has been expected and will not be a surprise. I am thinking that it wil be easier on my joints to go the route of a netbook to take to shows. Does any one use a net book and are there any major drawbacks to having one, rather than a full size laptop?
PLease advise - You are all such assets to our business.

Re: netbooksMy mom has one that I have borrowed. They are nice, but personally I like a bigger keyboard. She mainly got hers to play on FB and email. I just purchased a new laptop and one of the main requirements was it needed to have the number pad on it. I found a nice one on Walmart website. It should work nicely for PC and school.

Re: netbooksmy understanding the net book won't work as fast and when I contacted HO they said P3 would not run on it. I have just had to replace mine and am getting a Toshiba Satellite. It was just recently onsale @ Best Buy.

Re: netbooksP3 runs fine on my netbook--I bought it specifically for PC when I started last year. It took me all of a day to get used to the slightly smaller keyboard; now I don't even notice the difference going back and forth between that and my full size keyboard at work.

I have an Acer Aspire One, though I don't remember exactly which model (there were about 50-60 different models when I bought mine, all with slightly different specs). Mine has Windows7 and I opted for the larger battery--which is awesome--great battery life!

Good luck with whatever you decide!

Re: netbooksI have an Asus Eee PC and P3 runs perfectly fine. Don't know the exact model number, but it's just over two years old, I paid $260 for it, and it has been an awesome little compy. Originally got 9 1/2 hours battery life, all this time later, it still gets 6+ hours on a charge.

Re: netbooksI have an Eee PC as well and P3 runs just fine on it. It works faster than my desktop which runs very slowly when P3 is open.

Re: netbooksI would recommend pulling up the system requirements for P3 from CC, and having that handy when researching what you might want to get.

Re: netbooksIt is recommended to have at least 2G memory for running P3. That is what took me so long to switch over to a Netbook from a laptop. I love my little netbook!!! I bought a Dell at the beginning of the summer, but quickly realized that it wasn't going to work. So I took it back. At Costco I found a nice one for about $250ish (I don't remember now) that has been PERFECT! It is an Aspire One 722. I have been happy with the battery life and the speed. I mainly use my netbook for PC and FB and stuff. I don't do photo stuff on it.

Re: netbooksI have a little HP netbook and love it! I only use it for P3 and my PC email....otherwise I am always on my main laptop.Karen

Re: netbooksP3 Certainly runs on a netbook. I have a little Acer Aspire one with the 6 hr battery. I love it! Great backup for when I travel. I do not carry netbook to shows cuz I have a hard enough time talking and cooking much less talking and typing. BUT I use it all the time around the house and for meeting new consultants to sign up at Starbucks!!

Re: netbooksI have a Dell netbook and it works fine with P3. It is a little slower than my full size laptop or desktop, but much lighter to carry. The speed isn't that noticeable in P3. I've never had a problem using it other than having to scroll more than on a full size laptop.

Re: netbooksgood to hear all that, maybe the person that answered my e-mail about it did not completely research before responding...
