I am asking those of you using Netbooks like the acer aspire or Dell mini 9. I am wanting one of those netbooks but I want to make sure writing on one is possible. I know it's not nearly as powerful as a full sized desktop or laptop, so I ask you, can you install Open Office on it and use it successfully or buy the license to Word and Office for the trial software it might or might not come with?
With only one GB of Ram I wonder if it's a good choice for someone looking for something smaller then a desktop to take around to write in places that normally you can't when tied to a desktop. So what do you think? Is it a good investment or should I just wait and save up to get a full sized lappy with 2-4GB of Ram?
Thanks in advance. I know a lot of you use the Neo and love it, but I am afraid I like having a color screen too much to go that route.
