    I’m afraid I don’t understand your question – everything you see about Windows 7 in this video is by default, I didn’t change anything.

    Out of all the netbooks I’ve tested thus far, the HP Mini 1000 and the MSI Wind (the U120) are the ones I’ve liked the most. The RAM is easy to upgrade on the MSI, but even easier on the HP Mini 1000.

    Well that’s cool that you were able to assemble your own slimline USB-powered drive from an internal laptop part and an enclosure, but that’s a *little* different than a regular retail packaged drive that anyone can pick up at any major computer store. :-) The Samsung was the first drive of its type I’d seen at retail.

    Sure is, it’s a laptop hd-burner, I got it from the fleabay for $49.00 and got an enclosure there too.

    I plan to use it as just a dvd player/burner for my mini 9, and my aspire one when I go mobile with them.

    its a toshiba sd-l902a. I still can’t believe people are still trying to sell them for $500.00, Especially since HD-DVD went the way of the Dodo.

    Is your HD-DVD Burner as slim and light as the Samsung I show in the video? And does it run off USB power? I had an external DVD burner before this, but it was in a huge 5.25 inch drive case and required wall power. The Samsung drive I show here is thin, light, and best of all, requires no bulky power brick. So yes, it’s “something new”.

    great item on the power cord, but on the dvd drive, that’s nothing new, I have an HD-DVD Burner in an external case, I only paid $70.00 for the case and the burner.

    Headset? It doesn’t come with a headset. Do you mean the audio quality of headphones when plugged into the 3.5mm headphone jack? I haven’t tried that myself, but I expect it to be average – it’s not like there’s a nice Wolfson DSP on here. :-)

    Is the headset quality good on this netbook? because that is the main thing that i am looking for in a netbook.

    You mean the 4200 RPM hard drive vs. the 5400 RPM hard drive most netbooks come with? Nah, I haven’t noticed any significant difference.

    Thanks! but just one more question…Does the slower hard drive really make that much of a difference? Because the mini has a slower hd than all of the netbooks right now.

    The Aspire One definitely has the most bang for the buck if price is a your main concern (and the bigger hard drive). If build quality, thinness, and a great keyboard are more important, the Mini 1000 is a great choice.

    hey Jason, do you think the hp mini 1000 is worth the money? i really want it but think I that the aspire one has more bang for the buck.

    yeah I get your point, but if now we can have powerful technologies such as bluetooth, and wireless internet, that could be used in this applications. It has to be a way to do that with energy. just my opinion thanks

    How would a wireless DVD burner get power? Batteries? Nope, not practical. And wireless power to charge a laptop? Not practical either – you need a whole infrastructure to support something like that. I’m afraid wires are going to be around for many years yet…
