Having a hard time with my m1210 trying if i should
A.buy a cheap netbook to get by or
B. have the m1210 fixed.... I took it to a track day in the summer and the screen started locking up but after cooling down it would still lock up unless i keep moving the angle of the lcd around. Ever since then i've just been using it with an external monitor, but now I need a small portable solution that works by itself...
Of course option C is the best waiting for a small netbook that has all the features i'm waiting for but.... there doesn't seem to be anything promising coming down the tube atm.

Now as far as a netbook, I've been loving my ASUS 1005HA - 10.1", Atom N270, 1GB RAM, 160GB(!!!) HDD, LED backlight, 802.11n... 8 hours or better battery life. Screen is only 1024x600 (native) but it's quite usable. I normally hate touchpads, but this one works quite well, and the smaller keyboard is no problem at all for my fat fingers. Got it on sale at A-Power for $299, and right now they have them on sale for $279. Only thing I'd like to see is built-in bluetooth, but that would have been another $100 or so.
