Well, I ended up getting the Gateway. Wen I went to Best Buy they had three on the shelf for me to choose from. One was a Toshiba, one a HP, and one a Gateway LT2802u. The Toshiba was the one that I had been eyeing online...But the Gateway sold me on the fact that it was a little lighter, a little smaller (keeping the same 10.1" screen), and the biggest is the shift key is a longer rectangular form rather then the others that had a smaller square key. I don't have a lot of experience typing on these small keyboards other then my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 which I bought the Samsung keyboard dock and the shift key is my most difficult to hit. I put natty on it last night and it works great. Hopefully I made a good choice. I was a little learey as I have not forgotten Gateway's past financial problems. I did not want to buy the HP because their value is tanking over questionable business decisions. Anyone with any thoughts? Should I take it back? <div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Sep 17, 2011 at 6:37 AM, Ioannis Vranos <<a href="mailto:ioannis.vranos@gmail.com">ioannis.vranos@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"><div><div></div><div class="h5">On Fri, Sep 16, 2011 at 11:01 PM, Jeffrey Gray <<a href="mailto:chevy4x4burb@gmail.com">chevy4x4burb@gmail.com</a>> wrote: > My Inspiron 1525 is dying a slow death and I want to replace it with a small > netbook.

Keep in mind, that usually the current-version-of-Ubuntu doesn't work OK with all new laptop's features, but the next version does. -- Ioannis Vranos <a href="http://www.cpp-software.net" target="_blank">http://www.cpp-software.net</a> -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div>
