[QUOTE="King Nate, post: 4944872, member: 7435"] Thanks for the responses guys. To clarify, I do not own a netbook yet. I’m looking to purchase one. I am really computer illiterate when it comes to a lot of this fancy talk. For example I had no idea what this windows 7 thing was until it was mentioned here and I googled it. The netbooks I’m looking at all have a 10” screen which according to my research is larger than the mini 9 screen but I wonder, if you are having problems with the mini 9 just how much of a difference the 10” screen would make? While my intentions for using the netbook all fall within the normal listed uses for a netbook (hence the reason I’m looking to buy one) I also want to be able to use it for the following: [LIST] [*]DM Tool at the table – with initiative and status tracking programs, PDF’s of Dungeon magazine and most of my books, I think it would come in real handy. [*]Character creation – none of my players have a DDI account, so having an easy, portable Character Builder available with me when we create characters or add another player to our games should be extremely helpful. [*]Writing adventure on the go – while waiting in the car while my wife is shopping to waiting on the layover flight, I want to be able to create monsters, encounters, and adventures wherever I am at. [/LIST] None of the SSD’s in the netbooks I was looking at is as large as the suggested one here. From the research I’ve done it looks difficult to change out the SSD’s but that 80GB one looks sweet and I might have to find a way to change them out after purchasing one. I’ve already am set to change out the RAM after buying the netbook. Everything I’ve read said that changing the RAM is a must. [/QUOTE]
