I am clueless on how to connect the Mini 1000 Mi via remote desktop to my office server or even download an app like Google Earth. I may have to wait till Mi for Dummies comes out.Moizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03945213165842646884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19798349.post-31691542535067801832009-02-09T14:51:00.000+00:002009-02-09T14:51:00.000+00:00@blork:you said it all man, can't agree more with ...@blork:<BR/><BR/>you said it all man, can't agree more with youAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19798349.post-20323183996728725412009-02-06T15:10:00.000+00:002009-02-06T15:10:00.000+00:00Wait a second...

Those are huge advantages, and really, SIZE is the key advantage. <BR/><BR/>Nobody buys a netbook for their power. They buy them because they are small and light. (Comparably sized non-netbook laptops are easily north of $1500 range.) <BR/><BR/>If you just want "a laptop" then sure, pay $500 and lug a six pounder around with you. But don't complain when the guy next to you has essentially the same machine at one third the weight and he paid less for it.<BR/><BR/>Really, it is all about size. I took my netbook to Paris on a week's holiday, and carried it with me all day, every day, and didn't even notice it in my bag. At home, I it's like having a lightweight web terminal in every room. I can sit on the sofa while watching TV and look things up on the netbook, which is the size and wight of a hardcover novel. <BR/><BR/>Again, it's about size. Size and mobility, and to some extent, style, at a price that's lower than the cheapest crappy laptop.Blorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13381065813167569332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19798349.post-29959702143061046652009-02-05T13:21:00.000+00:002009-02-05T13:21:00.000+00:00True, but it's a start.True, but it's a start.Glyn Moodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04436885795882611585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19798349.post-88883098375044480332009-02-05T13:07:00.000+00:002009-02-05T13:07:00.000+00:00The only disappointment is the price.

Other than size, the only advantage netbooks have is price. After $300, I feel as though I might as well buy a 10-12" laptop for $500. OEMs need to keep this in mind.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
