Not bad for the price, but battery life is also probably only 3 hours during normal use, tops (reviews advertise "up to 4 hours.)

If you are willing to wait a month or 2, Intel's "ultrabook" models will start dropping which are exactly what you are looking for, although they will all probably be in the $700 to $900 range. Check out the Asus UX21 for an example.

Samsung already has something similar out (Series 9), and all of those are $1200 and up so I think its going to be more expensive than that. I also really think I'd want a hard drive - but then again do I really need more than 128 gb? It would certainly be faster.... that would hold more storage for movies and pics than I'd use on a multi week vacation.
Question: can SSD's be swapped out like hard drives as capacity gets cheaper? Or are they integrated into the motherboard? I'm sure I could buy a 32gb SD card for backup extra storage if I needed it for... whatever.
If I really wanted to pare down and get light/fast/internet only use then I'd buy the chrome book, but I want a little more flexibility than that.

Always? The netbook I have now, I cant upgrade the memory - its integrated onto a chip with the processor. I know nothing about SSD's in laptops.

memory != disk storage
yes, you can upgrade to ssd
why are you so focused on portability when you use it 99% at home?
just use the netbook while travelling and get something nicer and easier to use to masturbate at home
Evan Wrote:memory != disk storage
Yes, I know. But I didnt expect something I couldnt upgrade at all when I bought the Dell either.
Evan Wrote:just use the netbook while travelling
Because it makes me want to stab myself in the face. I hate it. I dont like a bulky laptop for home use either. I looked at some reviews of the Samsung series 9, there are some pretty good deals to be had but the reviews are pretty shitty - hardware problems, poor support.

I dont want to do any heavy lifting with it (games, CS3, etc). Stop being a grouch.

I'm realizing I need to expand the budget for this one so I dont end up with something else I hate.

For $700, you can get a pretty awesome Lenovo.
That's probably the manufaturer I would recommend these days.
