So since I am broke I am going to give a Linux netbook a try. As a college student who walks/bikes to school a light laptop with a long battery life will be helpful.
I also plan on doing some traveling. Windows makes you buy extra software to use different languages. While Apple offers a good selection of languages (you can write in Irish gaelic!) Macbooks are big and expensive. Plus, Mac's have overpriced software and hardware. Windows has crappy software that can get really expensive in order to get good features.
So after doing some research I am going to go with an Asus EEE PC 1000 that comes with Asus crap Linux (Ubuntu or real Linux will be installed), 40 GB solid state hard drive, 1 GB of RAM and a 6 cell battery. I hope the battery life is somewhere close to what they say (8 hrs) because I am on campus all day.
Anyway, I will get on in the next two weeks or so. Expect a review by the end of January.
If Linux disappoints me I might hack it and put Leopard on it as shown here.
