andrew.anderson Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 Thought about a mini but the wife hated the smaller size. (She is used to BIG things) I had the same issue when my wife was getting a new laptop. She had to settle for a 17 incher. http://legacygt.com/forums/images/icons/icon10.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2006Specb122 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 yeah she likes my 17" a lot...but if she is going to have one for herself she wanted it a little smaller... felt like mine was too heavy... have trouble fitting it in some places.

Spec B Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 When it arrives you should post up how you like it. I have been away quite a bit but we used to have a Netbook thread on here. I will go look for it. Ohh sorry..I meant I bought one right before Xmas...not that I ordered this particular one. But I LOVE mine, it is super easy to carry around, it is perfect if you want a really small, light, laptop for Email, word processing, Internet and logging. It is especially good for logging IMO However, the screen is a little small, the fan is a little loud, and if you are a gamer, the processor is probably too slow.

TSiWRX Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 RE: ACER Aspire One Netbook..... When it arrives you should post up how you like it. I have been away quite a bit but we used to have a Netbook thread on here. I will go look for it. Let me know where that thread is, bro, and I'll put in my two cents. I owe you at least that much. ------- I got mine new, shipped, from the Buy.com offer you flagged a couple of weeks ago, for only $30 more than the price of the TigerDirect refurb deal. I've been very happy with it, precisely as Spec B posted of his reply. I use ECUTeK, and thus, the laptop is my interface (with DeltaDash or EasyECU). It's *so* much easier to take this little Netbook out to the car/garage, rather than having to drag our (my and the wifey's) full-sized notebook out there. This is doubly important for me as my speed-detection countermeasures are also updated via the web (Escort 9500i and the Cheetah GPS-Mirror) or otherwise equipped with laptop interface (Laser Interceptor). As I've posted on the ECUTeK Forums, I am not, in the foreseeable future, going to invest in a carputer setup, so this kind of portability is something that really spoke to me, particularly as it could be combined with other light entertainment usage, such as e-mails or just surfing the web from the bedroom (). Similarly, for trips, I could so much more easily bring this along, as long as I didn't need the big laptop. I'm not exactly a weakling - it just makes things so much easier. For me, the Netbook purchase has been money well spent, and I'm completely satisfied with it. --- I wish it would boot up a bit faster, both from a standing-start as well as from "hibernation/sleep," but that's really nit-picking. BTW, battery-life on these 3-cell'ed Netbooks might be a concern for some, but for a guy like me, who rarely datalogs for more than an hour at a stretch and/or has an inverter in the car, that's also a non-issue. <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abandonhope16 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I think GWIM has a thread relating to Netbooks and then there is the "Computer Nerd" thread. Could you provide some extra details on hooking the laptop to the car. I looked around and the stuff I've found seems pretty pricey. I know, semi-OT, my apologies.

TSiWRX Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I think GWIM has a thread relating to Netbooks and then there is the "Computer Nerd" thread. Cool. I'll look for them, and see if I can make any contributions. Thanks! Could you provide some extra details on hooking the laptop to the car. I looked around and the stuff I've found seems pretty pricey. I know, semi-OT, my apologies. My old Tactrix (v1.2, I bought it back in 2005 ) is still out with my friends, so I haven't tried doing that, with the OpenSource stuff (RomRaider, etc.), yet. But with the ECUTeK, it was just plug-and-play. They (ECUTeK) provides a proprietary OBD-II -to- USB "dongle" that is a part of the license key, and after a rather painless set of driver installs (the last update, in Q2, 2008, finally had WHQL certified drivers - one of the reasons why I got a new computer was because my old laptop, my garage laptop, was a Windows ME unit, and the ECUTeK updates on it were getting rather painful), it was ready to roll. <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abandonhope16 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Say a bunch of the guys on here were so happy that we all chipped in and paypaled you the money for it. We can even set up a fake thread for "proof". No better way to start a marriage than with a lie. Good luck with the nuptials and congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
