| Nivex | Zareason vs. System76. Compare/contrast. Any other such vendors? | 20:19 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | ive always wanted a system76 box | 20:33 |
| holstein | ive heard great things about zareason though | 20:33 |
| Nivex | it's about $500 for the 10" netbook I've spec'd out (delta $23 between the two vendors) | 20:34 |
| holstein | i never looked into any others, besides HP and dell or whatever | 20:34 |
| Nivex | Dell won't get another dime from me | 20:34 |
| holstein | it challening | 20:34 |
| holstein | i went with an asus i found on craigslist | 20:34 |
| holstein | next big machine purchase i make will be system76 though | 20:35 |
| Nivex | I have an Asus eeePC I got from woot. 9" screen is a bit small, and the flash on it is the first gen which is sloooooow | 20:35 |
| holstein | i got one of those too | 20:35 |
| holstein | this is a 10 inch | 20:35 |
| holstein | 1.6, gig of ram | 20:35 |
| holstein | the usual | 20:35 |
| Nivex | I was thinking the 10" netbook would replace it and my 15" laptop. | 20:36 |
| holstein | it did for me | 20:36 |
| Nivex | since I rarely need such a beast anymore | 20:36 |
| holstein | i have an early HP mininote too | 20:36 |
| Nivex | having the extra screen real estate is occasionally nice | 20:36 |
| holstein | with an express card slot | 20:36 |
| holstein | i use that with my firewire device for audio recording | 20:36 |
| holstein | i dont mix on it, but i probably could do a bit, and tracking on it works great | 20:36 |
| holstein | i got this EEE 1001p on craigslist for $150 | 20:37 |
| holstein | battery is still great | 20:37 |
| holstein | like 6 hours | 20:37 |
| Nivex | my dad got one of the 10" eee's from newegg on sale. | 20:37 |
| Nivex | my big thing is I want SSD rather than HDD. | 20:37 |
| Nivex | That's probably the big price driver | 20:38 |
| Nivex | smallest flash you can get is 40GB | 20:38 |
| Nivex | 10x bigger than what's in my current eee :) | 20:38 |
| holstein | hehe | 20:38 |
| holstein | my old eee900 is an appliance now | 20:38 |
| holstein | its a synth module pretty much | 20:38 |
| holstein | i got it booting an SD card | 20:39 |
| Nivex | hmm, I suppose that's a thought | 20:39 |
| Nivex | though this thing is kind of due for a refresh | 20:39 |
| holstein | the battery did me in on it | 20:40 |
| holstein | i could have got a new battery for $50-70 | 20:40 |
| holstein | $150 got me a nice new-ish machine | 20:40 |
| holstein | bigger keyboard and screen, and that 6 hour batter is handy | 20:40 |
