Hi All.

Alan found me this nice thing. It's called a netbook.

I think it's a mini-laptop.

Is there a difference? It has all the features I need. It's $199.00 and I can afford it.

Can I buy a router, hook it up to my Westell Modem (which is for my HP Media Center), then I can have the netbook in my kitchen?

Can I do this with this netbook?

thanks, Melody

check it out for me.

did you see the part that you have to sign up for an at&t plan for 2 yrs to get that price? It's right below the rebate info.

[Rebate requires activation on a $40 or higher DataConnect rate plan on a two year service agreement. ]

I did a quick search and they are more or less mini laptops, a little less cpu power and less power consumption {battery usage}, smaller hard drives etc.

I think aimed more for students and business travelers - less bulk to carry around.

I knew there had to be a catch.

Someday I will get a router, and a laptop.

Until then, I have to grab my computer time when Alan goes to bed.
