[QUOTE="timbannock, post: 4638762, member: 17913"] I just picked up an Asus Eee PC 900 so I can do schoolwork on the move at Starbucks and Panera and the like. It's got solid state memory which is friggin' sweet (how often do I have to defrag? Um, try never.). It's a little on the slow side for what I need -- I HAVE to run a lot of java crap and MS Office for school -- but I recently used it at game and loved it. Tracking combat stuff was about 1000 times faster (I type way faster than I write), and searching for info in my text documents was a snap (i could just do a CTRL + F to find the room number the PCs were going into rather than scrolling around). I haven't used it during game for a lot of rulesy searches (SRD) or for dice-rolling -- I love rolling my own dice, thank you very much -- but the limited uses I tried definitely had an impact. And the Asus is small. Took up considerably less room than my standard notes do! And for less than $300, you really can do no wrong. [/QUOTE]
