Anyone have feedback on using HP/Compaq Netbook...positives and negatives?

HP and Compaq use to be and still are top level consumer vendors. The hardware is generally ok maybe even good. But I've found as I believe others have that they often have a lot of what is sometimes termed "crapware" on them.

Ton's of adware like stuff and trials and it just goes on and on. Now on Dell systems I think you can pay a little extra to buy a clean system might see if HP/Compaq has something similar. Because after all do you really want a low powered netbook loaded to the gills with junk.

I know where I am in Edmonton Canada, the most common netbook from HP is a underpowered POS. That being said it does come with Vista basic not the worlds best operating system, but it comes with it. Anyway if you wanted a netbook, the hp ones are cheap, and best of all the hardware isn't all bad, you can run linux on it.

The favorite flavor on he HP 2133 is SuSE, here is a link to the forum post hp2133guide.com/. SuSE is sold natively on it so drivers should be no issue. Then it should be fast enough to run everything you want.

Good hunting. Trevor.

I have to say small but nice great for online.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
