Are there that many $250 laptops with 6 hours of battery life?
And you don't have to "waste a lot of time". Crouton (https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton) makes setting up and using a chrooted Ubuntu incredibly simple and straightforward, and there are other easy ways as well.
- Wilya 13y agoAny decent modern netbook will give you 5 or 6 hours of battery. The EeePCs claim something like 8 hours of battery life. The Chromebook isn't bad, but if you don't want ChromeOS, it's not fantastically better than the loads of other netbooks on the market.
- nkorth 13y agoI don't know of any company that's still making new netbooks, so unfortunately that option might not last too long. I like tablets, but I hate them for killing the netbook market!
- beagle3 13y agoMicrosoft killed netbooks before tablets finished the job, by mandating 10" and specs that made them much more expensive. They'll taake my 9" eee from my cold dead hands!
