OK - it seems I'm getting a refund from the US government from my 2009 tax return. And I want to enter the wonderful world of mobile computing. So I started looking at netbooks and/or very lightweight laptops - and got very overwhelmed/confused. I've looked at the devices MR folk list - and ASUS seems to pop up a lot. But there are a lot of ASUS choices.
I want a lightweight something that I can use as a reader where eInk isn't a good choice (poor lighting conditions) but not burn my eyes out on a glaring screen (I wear glasses). And I'll probably end up using it to spend even more time trapped in MR instead of life, so the keyboard and screen need to be comfy for long usage times. I am comfortable with either Windows or Linux as an OS.
I know you all have opinions, so share some with me.
Please - help me spend my money wisely. Or at least, help me hook up with something I can really have fun with!
