I have been thinking about getting a netbook with the following criteria:
1. Use for general purpose computing like word processing, email, and web surfing.
2. Long battery life (say 5+ hours).
3. Linux application development
I was thinking of either the Asus EEE 904HA or the Acer Aspire One. I do have two questions:
a) I have tried out the keyboard on the Asus 701 and it's too small. The Acer Aspire One keyboard is still small but tolerable. Is the Asus 904Ha keyboard better. There are no local store that carries this.
b) I like to use the computer for software development. I don't think either the Xandros or Linpus is going to work. Which of the netbook has less trouble running an alternate Linux distro? I like to have everything work properly including the wireless and sleep.
