End Date - August 10, 2010

Entry Frequency - 1x per household

Simone's Thoughts - While I can't honestly say that I love my netbook as much as my laptop or desktop, it is conveniently light. It doesn't have the processing power of either and that can get frustrating when trying to manage more than 10 tabs at once online. I may just be a really high expectations type of girl though! Still worth it if you don't have one and need to travel with a computer.
