Super down for a rerun. I think we all have some old connections to plan something ahead of time, on an updated game, or even outdated, for all of us to do an event on. I would look forward to that very much

 I need one and I know jack shit about them right now. I need the following qualities

-Greater than or equal to 6 hours of battery life
-Higher resolution than 1024x600
-Fast processor, needs to be able to handle internet + music + a game like diablo 2, won't be playing graphically intensive games on it
-Hard drive space doesn't matter to much but needs to be above 150gigs

I know we got some computer people on these forums and could use some help.

My budget is no more than 400$ but if you find something a little over I will consider it.

These are the ones i've looked at that look good but I honestly don't know

And there were a couple acer ones that looked good too. I have an asus laptop and it has already had to be serviced so I am wary about the brand

I looked at the reviews and it can run Crysis on lowest settings! It did say it was "Playable." Still, that should be able to run Diablo 2 no problem.

It also has additional RAM slots, so it is upgradeable. If you would happen to want to go to 3GB, that thing would be perfect. It's cheap, too.

 That's a really nice one, I am definitely considering it once it comes back into stock.

 Check out HP's official site. I'm sure they have it on there. You're going to spend a few minutes getting rid of bloatware, though. Only annoying thing about HP.

 Lil too small for me Rusty

Knight i'll check it out but I was hoping to get it on amazon for free 2 day shipping. If you give amazon a valid .edu email address they give you prime for free for a year

EDIT: nevermind, like 300 dollars more on amazon
EDIT2: Shitballs, I customized on HP for an even better version of that one but it got up to like 600 dollars Edited Sat Jul 17 2010, 05:38AM

 Hate to break it to ya, but the atom processor is shite. 1.6 GHz is like a celeron processor 10 years ago. It doesn't matter if you can upgrade it to 3 GB of RAM, the 1.6Ghz processor and lack of a graphics card is going to offset that to horrible performance when it comes to games. I can barely run Crysis on low on my full blown laptop with a AMD Turion 64 X2 and an nvidia 8400 graphics card. Another thing to be wary about is the advertised battery life. Slash whatever time they say in half, because you may be lucky to see that kind of battery life if the computer is left in sleep mode that whole time (games drain the battery even more).

Bottom line, netbooks are good if you are a basic user that does social networking, email, and presentations. NOT for anyone considering gaming. If you buy a netbook with the mindset of that, I can guarantee you will be disappointed. You're better off having a full laptop.

 I didn't want one for gaming that's what my currently laptop is for, I just want something to surf the internet on and write notes on for college. Playin diablo 2 on it was like the most graphically intense thing I would do on it
