i plan to leave the country for a while, and i'm not sure if i should spring for a small laptop
    #10557329 - 06/23/09 01:12 AM (14 years, 9 months ago)

i'm gonna be WWOOFing/backpacking europe until my money runs out (hopefully ~1yr) very soon.  i can't decide if it'd be a wise decision to buy a tiny notebook computer.  if i'd get one, i'd want small and cheap, so i was looking at this.

however, i don't know if that's just the consumerist techno-geek bleeding through, or if it really would be a wise decision.  input?  also, suggestions for a better/cheaper tiny laptop?

I have it, it's awesome.  Get it.

You may want to spring for a larger battery since you'll be backpacking.  They have 3rd part 9 cells on eBay.

Sure you want to carry around valuables you won't be able to keep on your person at all times?

I've got the SSD version with Linux preinstalled.. I love it.  Set's right about the stock battery life being short, tho..  The other thing that sucks is that Google Earth runs very slowly on mine, because it has a very small amount of shared video memory.  All in all, it's good for using the web.  If you get it, you might want to consider running Opera or Linux as opposed to IE, it will be much faster.
