FWIW, I've returned a 23" Monitor to Newegg for one dead pixel. No questions asked.
FWIU, newegg is pretty strict about pixel problems now.

Runs extremely fast, I was surprised! Wifey uses it for her business and does office stuff, graphics editing(minor stuff), database things, inventory, POS, etc. and it does it all flawlessly. She even plays some of those online BigFish game thingies with no issues.

I'm worried about dead pixels or anything like that. I think newegg won't return it for a couple dead pixels but I don't know about Amazon.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22582489 Sat, 20 Jun 2009 10:36:11 EDT Re: Netbooks http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22582463 fartness : Yup, I had that planned already. Going to Best Buy today or tomorrow but will probably buy one online since they're most likely cheaper.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22582463 Sat, 20 Jun 2009 10:28:31 EDT Re: Netbooks http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22582456 Joe12345678 : One big thing that needs to be done is to get them to look at / try to use it before buying to see if they like the small screen?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22582456 Sat, 20 Jun 2009 10:26:06 EDT Re: Netbooks http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22582381 jouno53 :

Thanks for the suggestions....but will either of these (the Dell, and or the Asus) run MS Office without a problem? She really only needs Office for Word, and Excel.
Yeah especially the first one which has an N280 which has the dual core atom.

I believe it has the longest battery life of all the Netbooks. At least, i've gotten mine to run for about 8 hours of the 9.5 they advertise. Built-in bluetooth is really nice as well as I don't need to fiddle with a dongle for a cordless mouse.

I've had mine for about three months now and never had a problem.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22582318 Sat, 20 Jun 2009 09:23:56 EDT Re: Netbooks http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22582283 Gordo74 : Why not get a Dell Mini 9 and install OSX on it?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22582283 Sat, 20 Jun 2009 09:11:24 EDT Re: Netbooks http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22582233 Paul928 : Same here....My daughter has limited funds and wants a netbook for surfing the web, and especially running MS Office for her school work. She's trying to keep the price under $400. Any suggestions to a netbook that will meet her needs would be appreciated.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22582233 Sat, 20 Jun 2009 08:49:32 EDT Netbooks http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22581932 fartness : I need to get a netbook for a family member who will only surf the most basic of webpages and check email. Decent battery life is preferable. Any opinions on these or would Best Buy have something better?
