Anything like that available? Actually, what would really work (for me) is the ability to install a splashtop type alternative on the machines that do not natively hav it.

An installation of gOS or Ubuntu 8.04.1 can dramatically increase performance by relying more on the cloud than a regular laptop machine.

Also interesting to see more proof that the Psion case against getting people to use "netbook" as a generic term is going to fail - it's apparently automatically all over this blog entry.

I guess the best tip though is to know which netbook to get based on what you will be using it for, since they are not at all the same. For me, the 2133 was the winner, does everything an entry-level laptop does, and with a few simple tweaks/upgrades even leaves friends with their jaws open. http://lgponthemove.blogspot.com/ I’m curious why you have no tips for the HP 2133 mini note, you did use one for quite a long time.
