A Netbook? Does it suit me? Which one?

[*Arkin_Young*]

I basically am fed up of my 2009 HP DV4, please don't ask me why. I'm typing on my 2008 HP 6530B.
My usage, from what I do the most, towards what I do rarely. -
1. Browsing the Internet.
2. Playing Music.
3. Occasional PPTs and word documents.
4. Image Editing.
5. Playing GTA San Andread with mods.
So does a net book suit me? (I am the kind who wouldn't mind carrying his lappie with him him wherever he goes.))
If yes, which one?
What I can NOT do without -
1. Win 7
2. A Webcam.
3. NOT having to have it taken to the AfSS EVER.
4. Cute looks, not all lines and no curves.

I don't think my dad's eyebrows would rise if it cost > Rs 25000

Just one thing, it is not guaranteed that I will be buying it. If I feel it is worth, only then will I. Thanks in advance.

Playing GTA san andreas = 2 GB RAM
And san andreas requires 1024 X 768
Netbook is 800 X 600

Cute looks = Sony

GTA SA used to work in my system with 512 MB Ram without any trouble. And it now I have 1 GB and it works too..

I like the looks of the HP 210 for now. I shall look at the Sony on Google Img Search. I'm going to Croma tomorrow to check out all the major Netbooks.

AFAIK, San Andreas wont work in 800X600

I have a HP mini 110-1051TU, the first of the net books from HP in India. 1GB ram, 160GB HDD and Atom processor.

It worked in my PC and i played in 800x600 only.

Yeah I know sb-alto. I've seen your's before. How much did the Buffalo DVD drive cost? 2k?

Have a look at the Toshiba NB250. It costs Rs.19250. It has Atom 1.66GHZ processor, windows 7, 250GB Sata, 1 GB RAM(can be extended to 2 GB), and you get Bluetooth, backpack and mouse free.

I'm back. The HP 210 was very, very impressive, however, I was bowled over by the Sony M126. The HP costs Rs 22,500 with an N55 processor, while the Sony costs Rs 22500 too, and comes with the N70 (something like that), a faster processor, a motion sensing camera, as well as a bag. What do you guys say?

 

[sriharsha]

go for the vaio.

 

[*Arkin_Young*]

Yeah I guess I will. One of our friends in Mysore, who runs a computer store has told us he will sell us one at 6% discount!!

Updates, buddy?

And pics expected.

I've decided on the Vaio Netbook for now. It will cost me Rs 23000. It might be coming home in a couple of weeks.
