Hardware, Embedded Systems As some of you may have noticed, I'm slightly obsessed with my Aspire One netbook, and actually, with netbooks in general. They are great little devices, more powerful than you'd give them credit for upon first encounter. And, but that might just be me, netbooks are what laptops should have been from day one: truly portable. El Reg has put together a buyer's guide for today's netbooks, and while the guide is generally spot-on with its assessments, it does present some odd choices here and there. Read on for some of my own thoughts grown out of experience.

I got an Eee PC 701 G4 yesterday, will write a review here at osnews soon. It's ok, and XP is fast on it, but Trillian is not. For some weird reason, opening/closing Trillian or even a chat window, takes forever. Not sure what's up with that. Everything else proved ok so far in terms of speed.

Could be an issue with the graphics driver? Last time I saw trillion used some custom themeable UI.

Pidgin would be a good alternative.
