cssfreakie Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Hi guys, I was thinking of buying a very tiny laptop to bring to seminars and work in the train. I want to spend as little as possible and i found this one. Just for some reading and writing. It has a 10.1" screen and a battery-life of 7 hours. What do you guys think? http://tinyurl.com/6887nsc If you know a better one for nearly the same amount, let me know Cheers!

cssfreakie Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 yeah they left out the fan so the battery would last longer. But I hope it wont get to hot, Otherwise i should buy a fancy toaster Thanks Crayon!

Pikachu2000 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 It's a little on the large size for a cell phone . . . Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/232342-should-i-buy-this/#findComment-1195369 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cssfreakie Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 It's a little on the large size for a cell phone . . . and it misses a dial function I just spoke to some dude from their company, and which kinda made not want to buy it. He couldn't explain why both the 3 cell and the 6 cell have the same battery time according to the specifications.

.josh Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 yeah...I always had the impression those netbooks were primarily targeted towards teens as being something a bit more than what you can do with a cell phone but don't wanna justify buying a full laptop.

cssfreakie Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 Yeah it saves me the money too. Instead I just ordered a new battery for my dinosaur laptop, and installed a nifty program called Lalarm. It scared the hell out of me. In a nutshell, you can arm you laptop, and if someone types in the wrong password, removes the battery, usb-stick, power-cord or anything it will Put the volume to 100% and scare the hell out of you. I recorded my own message, and let it go off. To bad it took me 5 minutes to search for the solution how to un-arm it , while someone was screaming at me It can even send sms messages, destroy specific folders and much more. I really feel Like James Bond now. Weird thing is now i am hoping someone will attempt to steal it and meets the fury of my voice at 140DB Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/232342-should-i-buy-this/#findComment-1195627 Share on other sites More sharing options...

cssfreakie Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 wow..your laptop runs without a battery and power-cord? where do I get one of those? That's classified, I can tell you.. James bond style Anyways it works wonderfully with a usb stick which I attach to the table. But it seems to response to any device that is being unplugged.
