netbooks

I use an 11 Macbook air as my casual device and I love it. It's also pre-glass screens so I've dropped it a few times (from a 1-2') and it hasn't shattered. It's using this device which has had me rethink my computer situation.

I've actually considered getting a small 11" netbook, putting Linux on it, and using it wherever a tablet would often be used.

I still have my gaming desktop, but I don't need all that power to play movies on a plane, connect to ODB II, or read woodworking plans in the shop.
