ASUS, Toshiba and Apple. I recently purchased a netbook Toshiba NB300 to bring around to uni. I am getting about 8-9 hours of battery life with Wi-Fi on and light web browsing. But I'm looking for a more powerful laptop with i7, at least 4GB RAM. 7200RPM HDD of at least 500GB. This would be my...

lol. Same here! I have 12 hours a week. :D

But you would be receiving income from two sources then! You should be able to afford a full fare! :O haha. Where do you plan to work?

As above.

How many of you people will be OR plan to be studying and working?

Re: Is there any use bringing a laptop to uni? Actually, I've heard of this one recently and I think I'll give it a try. I heard it's really 'light' on system resources. hence making it a good choice for netbooks.

Re: Is there any use bringing a laptop to uni? Yeah, Avast is better. :)

Re: Is there any use bringing a laptop to uni? So you probably charged it at least 12 hours too for your first charge. Um, couldn't you have just installed the standard Firefox program on your netbook and install Firefox (Portable) on a USB key? Was there a reason for what you did? I'd...

Re: Is there any use bringing a laptop to uni? I'm charging it for 15 hours. :P Then I'll see what happens when I let it ruin on battery power. How long was your first charge? Do you mean 'Portable'? Why would you install that on your netbook? Wouldn't you install that on something like a...

Re: Is there any use bringing a laptop to uni? Haha. How long did that take you to run it down? I'm typing on it now and I'm not used to it. Did you install Firefox or any commonly used programs on it? How did it go?

Re: Is there any use bringing a laptop to uni? Oh, okay. Yeah, those models look alright and 13.3" is what I was looking for, for uni. haha until I got the NB300 which is what you got haha. I'm setting it up now. How do I train the battery to last 10 hours?

Re: Is there any use bringing a laptop to uni? You upgraded the RAM on your main laptop? How old is your laptop? Mine is 4 years old lol. Yeah, that looks good but the graphics card on that model is poor. Back to your NB300, for the price you paid, did you get anything else or just the NB?

Re: Is there any use bringing a laptop to uni? I have never heard of a laptop with 1.2GB RAM! :O Which ASUS are you planning to get? I'm planning on getting one too! But it's not released yet.

Re: Is there any use bringing a laptop to uni? Yeah, it's only got 1GB RAM. My main laptop is a Dell Inspiron with 2GB RAM, what about yours?

Re: Is there any use bringing a laptop to uni? I haven't used mine yet. I'm about to open it in a few minutes... O-M-G! I hope mine does NOT get the BSOD each time I use it! What were you doing to your netbook? It's supposed to have a processor better than most other netbooks and it's 1.83GHZ!

Re: Is there any use bringing a laptop to uni? How's the netbook coming along? Still lasting 8 hours ona charge? I got the same one as you recently. :D :D Same price too. :D

Re: Is there any use bringing a laptop to uni? I like its design but it only has 160GB hdd whereas most netbooks have a standard 250GB hdd. Also, it's $399. I prefer this one: HP Mini 110-3538TU 10" Netbook

Re: Is there any use bringing a laptop to uni? Was it because of the noisy fan and the battery life not meeting your expectations?

Re: Is there any use bringing a laptop to uni? I'm doing psychology. Would this HP Mini 110-3538TU 10" Netbook be a good buy? Or should I get a new laptop? My old one is almost 4 years old (in 2 months time) and it cannot hold a charge for more than 35mins. A new battery might be an option but...
