Since buying my new Alu MB last month I have also been thinking about buying a netbook as I don't want to take my MB out and about with me all of the time in case it gets damaged or stolen. Instead I wanted to buy a second laptop/netbook to use when commuting/cafes/holiday etc.
The Problem - I can't stand Windows or PC's and just couldn't bring myself to buying one even though I think netbooks are really great for what they are. I also didn't fancy a Linux machine as I know little about the OS.
The Solution - Today, I have just bought a one month old white MacBook 2.1 (Late 2008), which is still under warranty, came complete with the original purchase receipt and only cost me £500.00.
Okay, I realise this is about £200-£250 more than a netbook however I have a fully functional computer with superdrive, plenty of HDD space and a great operating system. Perhaps others may consider doing the same?😉
