The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
A friend is in need of a laptop strictly for browsing the internet, checking email, youtube'ing... and that's about it, actually. She purchased a $300 Gateway (forgot the model name. It's a couple years old) used from another friend but ended up returning it after a day due to constant overheating. It would automatically shut down almost every hour.
Do you folks have any recommendations for her? She doesn't need an exceptionally fast cpu. And preferably something cheap (under $500 would be nice). Like I said, it's only for browsing/email.
'Been looking at some reviews of the 1000HE. Seems pretty solid. Any overheating issues with it? Does it actually have a 9-hour battery life?
You want the 1005HA. There are a ton of deals for it on zipzoomfly.com right now. Under $400. That's your answer. And yes, they do have that battery life if you're doing light internet browsing and what not. Otherwise they're around 6-7 hours.

It might sound retarded, but these things are the fucking future.
