About to upgrade my main laptop, but having done an audit on what I actually use it for, I am moving towards travelling with one of these netbooks, and keeping a main base station at the office (and syncing every time I am at the base)
It would appear from reading the board, the Advent 4211 is the favoured model at the moment. I do have some questions which I have not been able to find answers to .. Upgrade of the memory and HDD is mentioned. Is the memory normal laptop sticks, and after opening the netbook case can it be installed easily (i.e there is no sodlering requried). HDD upgrade - again is this normal 2.5" laptop drive, and simply plug and play? I understand the 4211 arrives with XP, however is it possible to instal Vista (basic home) - with full support for all functions. I understand there is some difficulty with the OSX system - in particular wifi. I see the Eee has difficulty in taking Vista.. is the 4211 ok? Will Office operate normally on this machine ... or will it be painfully slow? Using the machine to watch movies etc. is the performance smooth, and output to TV possible? Many thanks in advance Best wishes |

Memory: Yes, 667MHz DDR2 SODIMMs, note that 2GB total memory is the max.
HDD: Yes, 2.5" SATA drive. Both a piece of cake to install. 4211 apparently runs great on Vista, Office should be fine. Output to TV: Only via VGA cable.
