I'm very happy with my eeepc904ha. Slightly smaller screen than the 1000h (8.9 inches as opposed to 10.2), but you wanted sub 300! I paid about 270 for it in april and another 30 for a ram upgrade. Keyboard was your sticking point - this one is 90% of a full size laptop. Having had a 700 series (same keyboard as the 901ish you mentioned), I can reall appreciate the larger keyboard of the 904ha.<br><br>Paul<br><br><br>> From: iamseawolf@gmail.com<br>> To: relay@wrexham-lug.org; chester@mailman.lug.org.uk; liverpool@mailman.lug.org.uk<br>> Date: Tue, 3 Nov 2009 22:54:52 +0000<br>> Subject: [Chester LUG] Netbook Suggestions<br>> <br>> Hi All -- (and the admins that had to approve this email)<br>> <br>> Following Wrexham LUGs meet earlier s'evening and being the only one out of <br>> the half dozen or so there that didn't have a n*book, I've decided to put my <br>> money where my boredom is.<br>> <br>> Has any one any suggestions/recommendations for a Linux-friendly netbook? I'm <br>> looking at sub-£300 and have seen a 10" MSI Wind for <£275 delivered. Has <br>> anyone had any good or bad experiences with this model? For the stats freaks, <br>> it has an Atom N270 @ 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM, 160GB SATA, Intel 945GSE graphics, <br>> wired + wireless, bluetooth, webcam, card reader & a case, in the box.<br>> <br>> A couple of other points:<br>> -- I've seen the post a little while ago on LivLugList (has a ring to it!) <br>> recommending the Eee 9's, but agree the keyboards are a bit wee; I'm against <br>> Dell out of principle that their desktops are pants and, as noted at WrxLUG: <br>> Bombay.<br>> -- I'm not fussy distro-wise as hopefully it'll give me a chance to hop <br>> about a bit!
