I was seriously considering the iPad, was in the line to purchase it. But then I thought of some of the restrictions and how MUCH they are charging. So I dumped it off at the register and left without my iPad. :lol:
ANYWAYS, I still want something similar. My current laptop is the CRAPPY dv1000 from HP
. Its HEAVY and slow (Had to install vista because I lost my XP disc and XP was corrupted...)!! Slow enough that streaming on a High Speed WiFi connection it would stop and stutter at 360p. So I decided that I wanted something that would:
-Stream Music
-Stream Video
-Stream Netflix (HUGE)
-Play music from internal storage
-Play video from internal storage
-Be able to jump on it and start surfing the web without having to wait for boot up times (Yes I know, netbooks still have to start up)
-Be able to last more than the hour I can squeeze out of the crappy dv1000 that i got for 50$
-Be able to play internet games/lower quality games
-Have a big hard drive (The iPad didn’t have this, but it had many options for increasing memory by 32GB+)
-Video Chatting would be nice
Optional
-Capacitive Touchscreen (Oh yea baby lol) :lol:
-The bells and whistles of Bluetooth
-1.8Ghz Proc would be nice, I’m tired of hearing the 1.66GHz, it’s not all that much better than my dv1000 one, though granted a new proc will run better than an old one.
Some of these things the iPad wouldn’t do, but I considered It worth it until I got into the line to fork up the bucks. :lol:
And right around 300-350 for one sounds good to me.
Reason for Getting Rid of my dv1000:
-SLOOOOOOWWWWWWW as cold tar
-Won’t stream more than 360p
-DVD’s stop and stutter, WMP doesn’t respond when playing videos and even VLC has issues. I can get it to run fine if I shut down EVERYTHING, including Anvti Virus… GRRRRR
-Battery is shot
-No hard drive space…
-One USB port is shot
-Gets 1000000 Degrees (The cooling system is shot)
-Screen has some problems (Not big, just some purple pixles, only visible when im viewing something stark black
-You get the point
Some im considering:
HP Mini 210
Acer AO532h
ASUS Eee PC 1015PED
The Levenopad or whatever that had a touchscreen looked cool until I saw the price tag :lol:!
I would apreciate any help!
