[Noisebridge-discuss] Best Netbooks?

[Rich Humphrey]

Hey-
  I got the first Asus EeePC, and I liked it. I have big hands and I actually prefer the tiny keyboard, but I found it just a tiny bit too cheap. Just a tiny bit, but still cheap. I just bought my cousin the EeePC 1000, and it has a larger keyboard that is not too cheap. I really liked using it while I was setting it up. I was very impressed with it overall, and it was only $389 at central. (I tried Best Buy but they were OPENLY HOSTILE to me and just tried to get rid of me so they didn't have to actually work!) 

  So I was very impressed with the EeePC 1000HE. I previously had a Sharp Actius (about 10 years ago) which was one of the first micro notebooks. For some reason, despite my giant hands, I love a tiny keyboard. So, don't rule it out!
