What do most people prefer a Dell or a Toshiba? Also what are some of the benefits that each one has over the other?
Evan
I believe the term “Netbook” would be a little more appropriate.
anyone know if this has a disc drive?
@ Dave: this doesn’t have an optical drive
@ CC: I agree with you! Although it’s a nice and sleek unit, its 1.3 GHz processor is very limiting.
As always – thanks Dan!
is it a netbook?
@dave: it does not, but you could buy one for very cheap
This is much closer to a laptop then a netbook
Netbooks come with atom processors which are very slow.
Just checked out the pictures and it looks like there is not a disc drive which is a real shame because that would have this my dream laptop!
@Tush: Most of the ultra light laptops don’t come with cd drives
@Zevy:
I need a 13 inch screen laptop with good battery life with optical drive- do you have any reccomendations? (i need it for schlepping around so it would be a plus if its lightweight) I wanna spend from 500-750 but no more!
First i was thinking of a netbook, but i need an optical drive and a fast precessor
For someone that wants a budget thin and light laptop this is a good choice. And the Intel ULV processor is much better than the processor in netbook’s.
An optical drive can be purchased for $25.
But will I get annoyed shlepping around an external optical drive? What’s your opinion
I would go with this laptop, I have a HP with very similar specs and am very happy with it.
I bought two different netbooks, and ended up returning both of them because they were too slow.
And as Dan said you can just buy an external drive for about $25.
What’s the regular price on this laptop? I see it now is $548, I just wonder if $540 is such a great price?
