| I'm starting to jones for a netbook/small laptop.
Criteria:
Physical keyboard
8.9" to 10.1" inch screen. Touch would be a plus
Battery replacement without opening machine
New is okay, but I don't really care about age as long as extra battery is still available for purchase.
Any ideas about how to refine my ebay search?
Thanks,
Jake | |

| Define which operating system you want to use... | |

| Probably Linux, but I'd be willing to go as far back as Win95. Android okay, too.

| That makes it easy...an Asus EEE or Aspire both will run Linux fine and cost less than $200 brand new... | |

| I second Rich's advise. I've been using an AcerAspire One for the past year, although under Windows 7. Good build quality and battery life.

| I do have the EEE 900, and have it boot a variety of OSs, so I'll look into an Acer Aspire One. ebay gives me a lot of choices for "Acer Aspire One" Any particular model(s) I should explore?
One thing I did notice was Acer machines with an 11.6" screen, appealing as well.
Thanks for weighing in, folks,

| The one I own is the Acer Aspire One D257-1814. I bought it a year ago for about $200 and have been very happy with it.
