Hi Kim – Thanks for weighing in on the extra memory. I thought it was a good deal. Yes, they can use external drives – much like the MacBook Air needs that. I am loving the food themes in your latest post. Thank you.

$25 for double the amount of memory is definitely worth it. I also like that you can get this machine with Linux pre-installed – usually have to install it myself. I don’t like that it doesn’t have a cd or dvd rom drive – how would games or movies be played. Can an external cd/dvd drive be connected to it?

Thanks for the write-up!

I bought the Gateway LT and I love it. I also bought a Bible cover and the little dude fits right in with room for my power cord, my Moleskine AND a book!

Betsy, I sooo want a Netbook. My coworker has one and loves it, and when I think of how I don’t do anything but blog/email/surf the web I would love it, too.

And how interesting, I did not know they were originally created to make a more affordable option for developing countries. Very cool.

Betsy,
You have done a great job selling the virtues of having a net book. I know that some phone companies and other companies are using the net book as a way to reward customer for signing up for high speed internet.

I saw your comment on Lance’s site, and came by to say hi!

I recently got a new laptop, and I support your decision and reasons. It’s worked out well for me. Good luck!!

Hi Sean – Welcome! And thank you for the clarification on the operating systems – I wasn’t as clear on that, given that XP is the one I’ll be choosing. It sounds like you’ve got a terrific amount of versatility. Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Becky – I can’t imagine why you couldn’t upload photos. Have a look and see! It would be so much easier on you with your trip. An extra few pounds does make a difference if you’re lugging it around all day with other equipment. I will keep you posted on the purchase. Thanks!

Hi Davina – It’s amazing, but laptops do get heavy, don’t they? Bigger isn’t necessarily better in this instance, and over-buying features isn’t better, either. Thank you.
