Comment on How much should I pay for a used netbook? by CireSnave

In your question you mention both netbooks and notebooks. I’m not quite sure which you’re looking for but you can find NEW netbooks on NewEgg.com for as little as $150 from time to time. I would assume that these cheap systems would sell used for at most around $100 and even then you’re probably getting robbed. Just to give you one example of a cheap one: CireSnave

Comment on What is the difference between a Netbook, and regular Laptop? by Rawr

Netbooks are basically VERY small laptops. They are extremely portable, cheaper, and have longer batteries. Naturally they arent as powerful. Rawr

A netbook is only really for people who want to use the internet as opposed to using it for their work. I’m going abroad for 2months and wanted to be in contact with the outside world, so i’ve got a netbook – it’s great! XlittleladyX

Comment on How is a netbook different from a laptop? by Michael B

A netbook is basically a smaller version of a laptop. You can use it
for internet and email. It should have a usb port or two. It also should
have wireless internet capability. It will probably not have a cd/dvd
drive, but you can purchase an external one. Download capabilities
are there, but it will probably have a smaller hard drive. Michael B

Comment on How do I transfer Microsoft Office to a netbook? by Toby

Toby — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 01:25:09 +0000

Here’s the thing about that. If you had bought Office separately, then you’d have a “retail” license, which allows you to install it also on your laptop/netbook (which you’d need an external USB CDROM to accomplish).

You have a copy of Office that came with the computer. That makes it what Microsoft calls an “OEM” license. OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. The terms of the license for the OEM version of Office are different from the retail version. You cannot install OEM Office on a second computer.

Have you tried Open Office ? It’s free, and compatible with all versions of Microsoft Word, Excel, and Power Point. Toby

Comment on How can I play Sims 2 on my netbook without having to install a disk? by Lenchipai

Lenchipai — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 00:12:09 +0000

Hi Jenna… Use an cd drive emulator, like alcohol or daemon(free to download), then save the disk as an image on your flash disk from the computer with a drive. With the emulator, open the image, this will make your notebook think it is running it from the cd. Hope this helps Lenchipai
