    ...because:

    1. these "underpowered" netbooks have more 3 to 5 times more battery life than notebook PCs.
    2. they are cheaper to buy.
    3. they are smaller, lighter. Easier to travel with. Easier to put in a bag to carry around.
    4. netbooks are powerful enough for what I need.
    5. fits on a coffee table with space left enough for an actual cup of coffee when using it at a coffeeshop.
    6. fits on an airplane tray-table with space to spare.
    7. I don't need a PC powerful enough to render Autocad when traveling abroad or outside the office. Just enough to connect to the internet and/or watch downloaded videos (movies/tv).
    8. nerd-gasm when one gets to push your gadget beyond it's design.

    *GH. Indeed, it's really a different high when you get to push something beyond its limits (you must have a lot of time and patience.)

    As I have mentioned, it fits my requirements. If I can get it to do something more than it's designed, its just one more "nerd" point for me.

    sir gh, kumusta video playback? My eeepc 1000 just can't do 1080p or .mkv :p

    i read somewhere that the overall performance is just under ULV-level laptops.

    Interesting to read about other people's Acer experience...ung Acer laptop ng pinsan ko, around 3 times nasira while under warranty(to the supplier's credit, inasikaso naman).

    My brother's HP laptop has been chugging along for around 3 years now; wear and tear here and there, but no major problems that i know of.


    tignan na lang natin by yearend kung may pera :D

    My collection of 1080HD videos are limited but from what I have, the DM1z plays it without any issues. I am not sure what effect it has on the battery life though since I didn't finish the video, just ran it for testing purposes. What I have more of are 720HD videos including TOP GEAR UK,etc. So either 1080 or 720 HD vids, the playback on screen is great.

    I might upgrade the HDD to a Seagate Momentus XT hybrid HDD/SSD in the near future for better loading times.
