ilovejedd points out that (at $200) everyone can afford a laptop.
It's not the price it's the weight/bulk. I might go for an ipad ($600+), but with that machine I'll be really tempted to get gps etc. |

Just last week, I just saw a ACER Netbook model with a 250 Gig hard drive equivalent to mine on sale at FRYS for $189. These little guys are called "Netbooks" because they are about size and weight of a medium sized hardback book. My Netbook weighs in at only about 2.7 pounds. There are even more compact units available now, but I like the size profile of my machine, because it has the advantage of having what they call a '90% sized keyboard layout' (effectively full sized) so touch typing is a breeze. Don't underestimate these tiny inexpensive Netbooks. The Atom CPU in mine benchmarks at about TWICE the speed of the 700MHz Pentium CPU in my older laptop. I have it set up to boot both Linux and Windows 7 and it works really well in both. It even handles flash video reasonably well in both Linux and Windows 7, which is more than I can say for some full sized desktop systems I have seen. ![]() |

Just buy with DRM-free stores on the go and do the drag & drop thingy. There is Smashwordswww.smashwords.com, Bean, epubbooks, our library here... There are more, have a look at the sticky in the Sony forums.
