Looking for Netbook or equivalent

[Death4ngel]

Hi, does anyone know if any place still sells a netbook, or a small laptop that's like 8.9 inch.

I don't want one that comes with an OS. I'll be running it on Linux.

I don't need to play games on it.
I mainly use it to do school work, and to do programming.

I like it small because I like to code while travelling.

Don't really have a specific budget yet, I'm open to suggestions.

I'm currently using an Acer Aspire ZG5.

Thanks.

Linux cannot be installed on any existing Bay Trail hardware as of now (you can't even get to the installer).

I don't think any of the 1015s are still in production anymore

Performance and batt life is actually my least concerns.
Batt life can be zhng-ed.

I nearly went with the t100, but realises it has its problems.

No VGA port, No RJ45 port.
Sure, I can bring converters, but what if I forget to bring. And bringing them is quite troublesome too.

Cannot run Linux.

Hi there,

I have Lenovo 10.2 net book hardly used since I am using MacBook Air.

It has VGA and rj45 input. Battery life is around 2.5 hours. It can run Linux too.

I can sell it to you if you are interested. PM me.

Are the only 10.1" out there now tablet-laptop hybrids, like the Asus T100 or Acer Switch 10? Are there no proper 10.1" laptops?

Anybody using the Acer E 11 series? How is it?

How about this? ASUS X200CA.

$398

• 11.6" screen (1366x768).
• 1.24kg.
• Intel Celeron 1007U Processor
• Windows 8
• 4GB RAM
• 500GB HDD

See: Qoo10 - [SUPER OFFER] ASUS X200CA 11.6inch Intel Celeron 1007U Laptop/NOTEBOOK... : Computer / Lapto...

Hard to find laptop/netbook lower than 11.6" screen. They're mostly tablets if smaller.

Note: PacTech used to get some complaints from some customers who reported it loading unlicensed time-limited trial version of Windows on their laptops, presumably to cut cost. But since you're using Linux, not a risk for you.
