Works best in the winter.  I can stick it under my coat to see the screen!

I've got an Acer mini for the field. Best tool I ever got. 6 cell, battery
literally last me all day if you use proper energy saving settings. It
weighs hardly anything and I stick it in a backpack and hike it up a tower
all the time. The only thing I wish it had was an anti-glare screen. Those
new glossy screens suck on sunny days.

 Hey guys,

We are looking to get a pair of new Laptop/Netbook computers for use in
the field. These would be in for installs, dispatching, troubleshooting,
speed testing, all of that general use stuff.

We aren't looking for a lot -- just a GigE NIC, 10.1 or bigger screen
(one that works well in the sun is a plus), Windows 7, 3-6 hour battery
is fine, and 80GB or so of HDD is plenty. Right now we use Dell Latitude
D-630s, but they're heavier and larger than we really need. We're
thinking about a Dell 2100 or 2110 right now (which I need to verify has
GigE).

If you have a certain portable you like to use, I would be interested in
hearing your recommendations.

Thank you in advance!

-Steven
