Got a Notebook for my birthday (well its not actually until August) ... but I'm sitting up in bed with it on my lap now as I type. Love it. Its great and saves cranking up the big old bertha in the study. I highly recommend getting one, they've come down so much in price and the one I got was reduced because they've bought out a new model which only differs in style not function. Perfect

 

Does anyone else have one?

[Cooks]

no but I am so jealous!

[bluekarin]

My hubby has one and for convinience I'd say they are excellent. But I'm afraid, as with all laptops, the mouse scroll and left and right click buttons drive me mad. As does the keyboard.

Love mine, means i can come on here and sit in the garden only problem is it gets so hot!!! iphone good too as that means i can catch up on here wherever i am yay

[Raina]

Me & my sis have 1 each (using mine now)

 

But we've only ever had problems with ours

 

 

They over heat really easy too and they are MUCH slower than a PC and our USB port are dodgy lol (we have different Brands/Makes)

 

and they burn my legs too lol

 

 

Just realised i'm making them sound really bad

 

 

Oh and beware NEVER let a dog jump on the keyboard, they pull of the keys (i'm now using a PC keyboard with mine lol)

 

They are good though cuz you can go pretty much anywhere in the house & Garden with them

I have a MacBook and it's FAB.

I have Its big daddy in the study but I hardly use that.

I've had a Mac of some kind since 1997 and I wouldn't have anything else.

This looks good, Barbara

 

Notebooks are supposed to be used on hard surfaces that dissipate the heat, not laps

My Mac stays nice and cool if I use it on the table or with a magazine on my lap

oops I'm sitting here with the mac on my legs. I love mac's Only issue I have is excel isn't as good on the mac as the PC however for everything else though apparently you can open your mac in windows mode for office applications and switch back to mac mode for everything else... has anyone tried this?

 

Happy Birthday for August Kitchens !!!

I have an old laptop from work and it's brilliant (after I upgraded it), heavy old thing, but i love it.

 

We were trialling netbooks at work and I borrowed one to try out at home... fabbo - so light and easy to use, althoguh I still use a plug-in laptop mouse as I hate the pads. It was an Asus one and very good.

I have the msi Wind Notebook. Wouldn't be without it now. It's so light and easy to use, and even fits into hotel safes when we are travelling . It has the big size keyboard on mine otherwise I don't think I could cope.

 

I don't have a problem with mine getting hot . Love the fact that card reader, webcam, USB ports and everything are all built in already. I never used the Disk player in my laptop anyway so I don't miss that.

Hubby has a Asus notebook which he uses in the caravan with his 3 dongle & wireless router which makes the caravan wifi. So I can also go on the net if I want to.

It's necessary for running our business & has been an absolute saviour!

Hi Jen Jen thanks for the birthday wishes. One more year to go before the big 4 0!!

 

Still loving the netbook Its an Acer Aspire One and highly recommend it

[Shirl]

OH has one but I prefer my laptop so I can see what's on the screen. I made sure I didn't buy one with a fan underneath so it is better ventilated when it is on my lap.

Mac's stay nice and cool, To use windows programs with your mac, there are 3 ways, you can install windows on your mac and switch between them by restarting, install windows on your mac and switch between them without restating by using VMware Fusion or similar or by installing Wine on your mac, it allows you to run the programs without installing windows and best of all it is free!

[Happy-Mama]

Hi Fred, if I use wine can i just download it from the internet? do you know of a trusted site to do this? I do love the mac and have office for mac which is great but the excel just is no where near as good as the windows version.
