Charlie R Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Hello; Just curious, I'm getting ready to buy a new laptop, but if the netbooks work, maybe I'll go that way. Anyone using a Netbook with Inspector Pro or Home Gauge? Thanks, Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottpat Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Hello; Just curious, I'm getting ready to buy a new laptop, but if the netbooks work, maybe I'll go that way. Anyone using a Netbook with Inspector Pro or Home Gauge? Thanks, Charlie Why not! I just picked up two HP Netbooks and they have more power than my laptop and one of our desktop computers. 1 Gig Ram and 160 Gig hard drive, 6 hour battery, mobile broadband (if I want to subscribe), etc. Although they are compact and full of power I would not use a Netbook as my main computer. My son calls it a Hello Kitty computer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie R Posted November 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Thanks, I'll go check them out. Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randynavarro Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Sure they will. Only drawback is the size which translates to smaller text and maybe most importantly, a smaller keyboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottpat Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Sure they will. Only drawback is the size which translates to smaller text and maybe most importantly, a smaller keyboard. I just looked at the specs for the HP's we just bought and they say that the keyboard is 92% the size of a normal notebook. Now what is a normal notebook?[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Raymond Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 I find that I adjust to the smaller keyboard pretty easily, the problems arise when I have to go back to an expanded keyboard and I suddenly can't type anymore. Damn those keys are far apart.[] Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlbnaz Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 I have a toughbook T7 with xp that i run Palm-Tech on & i love it, weighs about 3lbs & i have dropped it more than once & its waterproof, just wish the had strap would have been more durable, it has broke & i cant find a replacement. Its is much lighter than the 19 my partner uses, i bought it off of ebay over a year ago, they said it was a demo, have never had a problem with it, battery last all day, they say 9 hours & im sure i have gone that long or longer with it. http://www.buytough.com/cf-t7.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie R Posted November 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Thanks for the link, I'll look into that one. Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcmeagle Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Charlie, plenty of inspectors use the netbooks, but don't forget about the 9" tablet, basically a touchscreen netbook. CTLCorp.com has the CTL2go. I recommend sticking with the Windows XP version as it's cheaper. Windows 7 is nice but not necessary. For $499 it can't be beat, and it's created directly by Intel.

hausdok Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Hi, According to this article, users with Windows 7 Starter Edition are not going to be completely happy with their netbook unless they upgrade the software or go with XP. OT - OF!!! M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
