My previous netbook was the Asus Eee PC 1005HA-b (3 cell, no bluetooth, blue gloss finish). I loved that netbook, but when my contract went up with Verizon and saw that they offer this netbook I went for it. I got $50 off for my two years, plus $100 off for signing up online, only cost me $149. Sweet deal :D<br><br>I upgraded that one Asus netbook to 2 GB of memory and Windows 7 Home Premium, which it took on very well. It got me decent performance in almost everything I threw at it. Even fullscreen flash video on Hulu and Youtube was decent, but I did notice them slow down once I did anything else. But for those who can't spend more than $300 the Eee PC is pretty solid.<br><br>The HP Mini 311 is a better deal though, since you're getting an nVidia ION gpu and DDR3 memory.

Have you tried to alleviate your touch pad problems with those? I found using a combination of both on does have an effect.

So far the 311 impresses me with general responsiveness, but it is my first Win7 machine. Chrome displays websites and scrolls very fast. Lightroom is very responsive, no lags on sliders, even graduated filters snap into place. And it plays streaming video very well! Your mileage may vary. Interested to see.

You are right. Without TouchFreeze I got way too many unexpected jumps in typing. Very frustrating.
