In response to "My mom needs a cheap laptop that a) runs Windows and Office and b) can "do Internet and play DVDs". " by nubby

Honest question: is a netbook incapable of running windows? -- nm - nubby Sep 17, 15:43 4
- She should get a Hercules--it's only slightly larger than most netbooks, comes with Win 7 preloaded, double the harddrive and a gig of memory. - Trish Sep 17, 15:53 1
  - I'm extremely familiar with Open Office. It's a no-go. -- nm - nubby Sep 17, 16:03
- Most netbooks actually run Windows. During the "Vista" era, they actually ran Windows XP. Now they're coming with Windows 7. -- nm - Mop (233 lbs) Sep 17, 15:51
- Some don't have a lot of memory. And are set up to be pretty basic. -- nm - the liioulu with extra jacket Sep 17, 15:44
Little is a-ok. Lightweight is a plus. -- nm - nubby Sep 17, 15:40 1
- Dell and HP will be the best prices. You'll have to pick your configuration. -- nm - Mop (233 lbs) Sep 17, 15:41
