then spend an extra hundred bucks or so and get the external battery LAN pack and a spare regular or extended life battery (the pack is around 30-40$ and the batteries are i think 50-100$ depending on which one) then you should get 5+ hours and an ethernet port if thats important

One more question.

I'd rather not wire anything up and risk blowing something up.

Oh, and I have pretty much made up my mind that I am buying an Everun.
My dad is gonna pay most of it, but I will cut grass in order get money.

Oh yeah, and due to me wanting an Everun, I no longer am gonna buy a Pandora.

Well I'm thinking about selling my EeePC 901 (20GB Linux) in pristine condition, with a case, and 16GB SDHC card for $300, with any OS(es) you want. Let me know if you're interested!

Any Suggestions?
And does anybody have any experiences with these?

Heh, I'm replying with the above-linked product now, and I like it. Battery isn't the greatest but it's good for internet surfing and word-processing.

gaming with the optical trackpoint isnt that great but with an external mouse its pretty damn nice, the LCD is Very bright (daylight visible @100% backlight) and has a VERY fine dot pitch so games look fantastic. my everun has issues but they have been corrected in the newer production runs and if those were fixed the ONLY downside i can find for the laptop is the lackluster battery life

if you wanna talk to me more about it hit me up on instant messenger

I really wouldn't even bother getting a netbook until the Ion starts showing up in them.

My younger bro just got an eeePC 901 and it's fantastic. Obviously the keyboard is cramped because it's a tiny tiny computer, but that's the only drawback really.

I know this is probably a ridiculous question.. but.. Is there a CD-Drive on the Everun Note? I havn't noticed one yet, and I'm wondering how people get games on it.

[eagle5953]

Nope, no disk drive on this or pretty much any other netbook - it's one of the defining characteristics of the netbook class of computers.

[bicostp]

They have to use external USB optical drives. (Or services like Steam, where you usually don't even get a disc. )

[palmertech]

Or, use virtual CD, or some other virtual image mounter. Been using it on my desktops for years, I hate optical media.

NO DISK FOR YOU!
