Who needs a netbook eh? Seriously though, I was shopping for a netbook again and a thought came to my mind. I was cleaning out my office a couple weeks ago and remember seeing my wife’s old laptop, a Dell Inspiron 700m. We got this originally back in 2005 or 2006, I can’t remember. She broke the USB ports and she could no longer use her USB stuff, so I got her another one. Well, other than that it still works and has built in WiFi, a card reader, and all the other stuff a netbook should have, so why not right? I am in the process of trying to install Windows 7 on it, but either way, I think we are in business. No need to shell out another couple hundred for something to read email on why watching the Braves.

I put the HTC Advantage and the AT&T Tilt in the photo to give a size comparison. This thing is small. I just hope the battery is conditioned well enough to do the job.
