Re: cheap laptop Yeah, asus netbooks are probably your best bet if they're not going to do anything relating to a game.

Re: cheap laptop I've got an Acer Aspire netbook and it rules really hard. Paid $250 for it. 1.6ghz Atom CPU, 1GB RAM, 160g HDD, webcam/mic 6-cell (6-7 hour) battery. It's F*CKING amazing.

Re: cheap laptop Oh, and I have personal experience with the Dell mini 10. The thing's built extremely well and took Win7 with very few probs.

Re: cheap laptop Crzyninja wrote: thanks guys for the advice i have one more ? you can burn cds to the netbooks or do i have to get an external disk drive for that? I installed win7 on a netbook without a drive. It's a bit too technical if you're getting it for a regular user, so you would want an external drive. 1) Get a disk image of the install disk 2) Install a disc image mount tool such as daemontools 3) mount the image 4) profit I have no idea how it worked, but I was able to install win7 on a winxp dell mini 10 using this method. _________________ BAN Log: Player [[n00b] Reborn''] [STEAM_0:1:456925] Time 02/21/2010 @ 17:17:03 |
