Netbook Nation Vodcast #10 Christmas 09 Netbook Buyers Guide

[sqeker09]

13:40 someone just bought a netbook with W7 starter.

[BuffyKiller]

hey Nicole .. did you ever live in Toronto? .. if so, I knew you many years ago

[billywhiz2001]

What's cookin' good lookin'? Good overview of some netbooks. I am netbook illiterate. What are my limitations with the new netbooks coming out as far as working with, viewing, and uploading video? I am looking for a very portable computer-- the smaller and lightweight the better-- that I can travel with easily and maybe upload video and images, but if these are too slow, I may need to find a small notebook. Any ideas?

[minipcpro]

of course you can upload images and videos with every netbook

[glentubin]

I am shopping around for a netbook and I really like the HP 311. Anyway I want to say the video was very educational and well done. BTW, do we need the home version of Win7 to watch videos on youtube?

[splice247]

i actually disagree with the "best overall netbook" THE ASUS HAS THE INTEL GMA 500 GRAPHICS WICH CANT EVEN PLAY FLAS LIKE YOUTUBE WELL(JUMPY, laggy ect.)

[minipcpro]

the ASUS 1008HA has GMA950! GMA500 with the new Adobe Flashplayer Beta plays youtube videos without any problem. Oh by the way, there seems to be something wrong with your capls lock or shift key ;)

[splice247]

read below review

[blessless04]

why not doing a research before making such a funny comment that makes you look like a complete fool? The 1008 never ever had GMA500!

[splice247]

the so called "specs" says GMA950, but it really has GMA500, read the reviews and it shows, so do your research first.

[minipcpro]

man you are talking out of your rear. i have this netbook! you can even see my video here on youtube. i don't even know why i am still answering... lol

[manutube8080]

instead of HP MINI 311 YOU WROTE LENOVO SOMETHING

[splice247]

everybody is looking at her crazy for filming in a store lol

[minipcpro]

I actually got chased out of one store by an angry shop keeper!

[splice247]

lol XD

[nanyatedotcom]

Thank you so much for this video! I'm just about to go to an IT fair and I am so torn amongst all these netbooks. Those tips about the HDD speed and the mAh are really helpful! Thanks!

P.S. I think you meant Samsung NC310 and not NC130. :D

[mugupo10]

mini 311 win but cost a bit more.

[minipcpro]

@justdontbestupid NB205 the battery life kills the 1005!!

[iFuff]

Netbook queen Nicole! Nice Vodcast. The NB200 has an ugly 6-cell battery which exceeds the netbook in length.

[minipcpro]

But 9 hours of battery life surfing the internet...*shutter....you have to forgive it that one small flaw for having such a great keyboard..and I know I already mentioned it...but 9 HOURS of Battery Life!!!

[iFuff]

Okay you're right this feature is striking. And by the way there's a galaxy black model which does look great (thx for response)

[Pinwormx]

Yay Nicole!

[DRBUK]

lol man its such a hard choice...Toshiba NB205 or Gigabyte (i forget which model, but the one with the tablet touch screen) or HP 311 ? hard choice ! lol netbooks just keep getting better !

[minipcpro]

I just found out the Gigabyte Touch Note will be releasing their Pinetrail version end of January! Just to make your decision even harder ;)

[DRBUK]

oh great, thanks for making it harder, but what makes it worse is this headline. "Intel's Cedarview Atom chip rumored to go 32nm in 2011" ....oh great now do i get pinetrail or cedar view lol ahh thank you intel for both, giving me great tech to use and for making it crap because you already are hyping the one after that.lol

[minipcpro]

hahaha...They had to leak their next gen chip set! If Pinetrail was any indication they'll push cedarview's release date a full year and probably bring it market 2012!! No fear! Get pumped about PineTrail!!

[DRBUK]

toshiba nb205 ftw ! ahh nice same as me, im waiting for pine trail and maybe perhaps nvidia ion ? more so pine trail ! then im getting my toshiba nb205 !

[dedafmonteur]

wow really nice!

i have just bought a mabook pro 17 inch and a hp txz1 or something like that, its the multitouch laptop and it rocks!

[WackoX1337]

But anyways good video, keep up the good work :)

[WackoX1337]

Your intro sound is missing :)

[NewGadgetsDE]

Really good video! Thanks!

[CiphersSon]

win7 starter is a joke

[ilovemaryam08]

so should buy windows 7 home premium or widows 7 professional? ill be participating in the student discount program so either of the editions will cost me 30 dollars. reply if you have the time thanks.

[minipcpro]

Go professional, it has remote desk top, encryption software & xp virtual mode to name a few extra features.

[minipcpro]

Thanks! I'm shooting a bunch tomorrow so you'll be seeing more of me!

[ilovemaryam08]

your welcomed,

and can the pinetrail chip's support 64bit Operating system? i ask because ill be ordering my copy of windows 7 professional soon, so 32bit or 64 bit? i know your busy but try to respond. thanks

[minipcpro]

Too soon to really know for sure, I'd go 32bit just to be safe. We are going to see a slight increase in performance in pinetrail, the big boost will be in battery life.
