I need to buy a netbook for a trip to Ecuador. What should I get, dudes? I'm looking @ secondhand options -- that is, craigslist. I'd love to hear from those of you who own one about what you like or hate about yours.

(Also, I think I shall try to resell it upon my return.)

I have one of the original 9" Asus Eee line, and I adore it. Getting used to the keyboard didn't take much time at all, and it's so compact that I can travel with it almost as easily as I can drag it from room to room. I loved having it on the plane on my last con trip.

The only issue is that it has limited HD space, but with the 16G card I popped in, it stores everything I need it to do. Newer models have a greatly expanded HD, like 80 to 160 G.

Good luck on deciding, and I hope you enjoy your choice!

Thanks, that's very helpful!
