I'm open to any and all suggestions that you all may have. I would still like to have something with excellent battery life and decent performance like they Asus 1000HE.
Especially since most current models are more portable than my 700m. So, I'm looking for a decent 12" of 13" laptop that will fit the bill of portability. I can also get an Express Card type reader if I can find a laptop with that available. I have a PCMCIA reader in my 700m, and it is much more convenient than lugging around an extra USB reader. I'm a govt employee, and I'm required to use a SmartCard to access some sites and my webmail.
I can type much faster on the slightly larger 700m keyboard (also not quite full size) Although the keyboard on the 1000HE is very nice. I really miss those extra 2" in screen size Although I love the portablility, I find myself constantly going back to my aging Dell 700m as my portable computer. Days Quantity: 6 pcs.I recently got a Asus 1000HE netbook.
