i am interested in getting a netbook for backup images and a minute bit of editing but some people say that they are rubbish whereas others say that ts perfect.

what should i do? what netbook should i get?
 
I'm using a netbook as i speak,It's excellent,The battery life on mine(depending on settings) can usually pass 4 hours,I've used mine for photoshop,Lightroom,Browsing all at one at ir was running well,(i've upgraded to 2gb though)

For the money i paid for it i can't fault it,Great little machine and good for when you just wanna lounge on the sofa instead of sitting at your desk,Thumbs up from me!

I'm using a samsung Nc10
 
Yup, I'm a fan. Not good for lots of editing and it struggles with the 17 Mpx files of a 1DsII a bit bit you can still work through it. Mainly use it for keywording on the move and backup
 
I've got an NC-10 as well. Bought it as my travel togging machine when I went on holiday last month. Runs Lightroom fine, if a little cramped, perfect lightweight digital togging companion if you ask me :)

None of the other netbooks around have the battery life to make them worthwhile, at least without buying larger battery packs. Saying that, some of the earlier Acer's are a snip at £150 if you can find them now....
 
yeah i was tempted to go for the nc10 but the only negative i have is that its 10" screen. would a 12 incher like the dell mini's be any good, or even a samsung 12".


edit: also what photoshop do you use on it.
 
yup dell mini 10 is 10"

samsung have released the replacement, nc110

pretty slick bit of kit and best keyboard by a mile.

a few with the bigger screen but price goes up pretty quick!
more full sized laptop spec than netbook
 
I'm not sure how useful it would be as backup tool, most have a 160GB hard drive at most - not exactly a lot of space for an image backup device.
 
I have an Asus Eee PC and think it is brilliant. I took it on a three week tour of the Far East and used it to back up all my photos, e-mailed some back home, listened to music, wirelessly surfed the web, chatted on Skype with built-in webcam and watched movies. All on a machine that weighs a couple of pounds and fits easily into a Lowepro backpack.

Perhaps the one downside is no built-in DVD drive but I can transfer stuff to and from using a wireless home network.
