minus-squareGeodad@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up13·4 days agoASUS still makes netbooks. I bought a little $200 model a few years ago. It weighs 9 oz.

minus-squareArghblarg@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·4 days agoStill love my Acer Aspire v151, core i5. 11" is a great size, just big enough for a standard keyboard. I wish they would have updated models like that. A Ryzen 9 version would kick ass.
