I am wanting to get a netbook.
I have it narrowed down to the ASUS 1000, ASUS 100H, or the Inspiration 910.
Some flavor of Ubuntu will go on whichever one I get
The pluses I see for the ASUS is the 10 inch screen and greater drive space on the both the 1000 and 1000H. The 6 cell battery is also a plus. What I have been reading most folks get 4+ hours.
The minuses I see is it does take some tweaking to get it to run Ubuntu. I'm not sure if it gotten better but for a period it seemed that the SSD on the eee had a high failure rate and the keyboard flex issue.
The pluses I see with the dell is that it comes with Ubuntu configured for the device. The minuses I see are the smaller drive and screen size
The questions I have
How is the battery life on the 910? Does it really get 4 hours?
How is the build quality of the 910? ie how does the keyboard feel? Any problems with the SSD?
Thanks in advance.
