I am a junior in high school and have been saving up for a laptop. I like the sleek designs the mini notebooks have. My Toshiba just died and was outdated anyways, running Windows 3.11 and 98. I would like something no more than $1000, but am not quite sure what to get. I have seen online a few. (Asus EEE PC, HP Mini-Note, MSI Wind, Intel Classmate, Everex Cloudbook)
I’m trying to find any mini notebook with XP or Vista. Which would be the best choice for under $1000 that you think would also work for the next 6 years?
I also know that most if not all mini notebooks have no cd/dvd drive. What would be the best mobile (no a/c adapter needed) external cd/dvd burner drive that isn’t too bulky? I am just trying to find something lightweight that is small and convenient since my book bag is already 20+ pounds.
Thanks for reading and I appreciate any help.
