Well I'm down to two Netbooks to decide between (unless something else strongly recommended.) The main purpose is to have something portable for me to bring on-site to assist in troubleshooting any given network.
A secondary use will be when I'm out of town, which is rare, for email, simple games, internet, etc. No heavy gaming is needed. Possibly watch movies, have an usb DVD player
The size difference between these two is very close - 11.6" and 12.1". I'll probably slick and install XP Pro on whichever I purchase. Believe both come with 1x2GB RAM.
I am leaning towards the Lenovo...your thoughts:
