Thats all.

Is the Dell Mini 10 netbook right for me?

Answer:
The netbook you’re looking at is very similar to the acer aspire series. the acer netbook has the exact same memory and processing system as the dell netbook you are looking at but the acer net book has a 6 cell battery that’ll last you a lot longer than the 3 cell that you’re looking at. Costing 103 dollars cheaper ($296). If you are planning to use Microsoft word you’ll need an external Compact Disk drive (CD) from what research i have done the acer netbook will have enough space for you to install Microsoft student and home word pack. also this acer netbook has a microphone and a web cam great for speaking with your friends.
Answer:
yeah if that's all you do you should be fine.

I'd go for the Asus eee pc series though. There's a new one out i think called the 1000 HE or something like that. It has great reviews.

If i remember correctly the eee pc1000HE was rated as one of the ideal netbooks.

Answer:
im actually wondering the same thing but i also want to know if i can also use these:
the sims 3
games and portability.
im also scared im going to loose it
