Who else fell for the netbook meme?
>>55211131
Ever tried to write code, or hell, anything longer than a paragraph on a 7" EEE PC? It's hell. and the 800x480 screen made me not even bother with X most of the time. And when i did need it i had a hot key to switch to 1024x768 virtual resolution and panned around so i wouldn't have issues with half my windows being too small/cut off on the bottom.
I would have felt ripped off if i had paid more than $15 for it.
OP is that network manager? Network manager is fucking SHIT for me on Arch linux
>>55211131
I did, but unlike you I have some standards.
>>55211343
it been having a few problems for me but it works(unless you know better)
>>55211375
Very often the connection will stop and webpages will not load despite it being connected. Just annoying stuff like that.
fell for the 12.1" thinkpad meme.
love it.
>>55211412
Which model
>>55211131
>XFCE
RIP.
>>55211131
>he didn't get one with ION2
>>55211424
x200
>>55211427
There's nothing wrong with xfce. It's nice and lightweight and just works.
>>55211301
>write code
All my code conforms to 80 character width, so this isn't a problem for me.
just plug in an external screen.
Use the 7" for viewing the output.
And avoid certain kde applications which requires 1080p to fit on the scren.
>>55211131
My government fell for the netbook meme and gaveaway one to each student of my age/grade, actually.
It was pretty based tho because it had dual boot Ubuntu / XP, which is nice, if you think about it, for toddlers
>>55211514
It wasn't an issue of screen, it was an issue of keyboard size.
>>55211343
Do you mean nm-applet? I have been using both without issue for ages. Only once did I have to downgrade nm-applet due openvpn issues, but they were quickly sorted in an update.
Bought this netbook about 2 years ago, and it was complete shit full of bloatware and had the loudest hard drive I've ever heard. Added an SSD and upped the ram to 4GB, stripped out a few unneeded processes and it's pretty decent now. Runs a little hot, but not enough to get the fans going.
Since I usually only do writing on it, the cpu caps at 600mhz when on battery, which is plenty for typing and light browsing in Dillo.
pretty comfy.
>>55211748
Why not install a less bloated OS like Linux
>>55211818
Tried multiple times, never found it to be usable on this machine. Stupid problems like suspend not working correctly, programs freezing for no good reason, slightly lower battery life. Little issues, but enough to turn me away for the moment. I'll try it again in a few years, see if it's improved.
I'm not having any issues with this setup, it suits my needs, everything is nice and quick, no random ui lag and it resumes from suspend almost instantly.
>>55211354
This is probably such a retarded question but how did you make your taskbar show the name of the applications?
>>55212558
right click -> properties, -> taskbar buttons -> never
Just get Apollo Lake
>>55211412
Same here. Yoga think pad 12. El mui hermoso.

each thread asking if x is a meme, congratulations, your fucking cancer has spread all over the god damn board. fuck you.

>he fell for the $9 computer meme
Can't get more retarded than this.
>>55211131
What meme? Netbooks are fucking great.

He could be you.

i see the netbook meme isn't the only one you fell for
I fell for the t420 meme..
and I like it :)
nice specs dual ssd's 12gb ram all is well
>>55211131
I sure did, bought an acer chromebook and put linux on it, still useless.
>>55215183
T420 isn't a netbook senpai
>>55211131
Fell for? I think I helped it get big on /g/ with the comfy devices to shitpost from thread that I made back in January. Never going back to a smartphone.
>>55211354
Were talking OG netbooks here, not the bay-trail revolution
>>55211748
>the cpu caps at 600mhz when on battery
You can adjust that you know .....
>>55211354
There are modern netbooks? I thought tablets had completely killed them off.
>Sub 13 inch screen
>Barebones specs
>2016
why would anyone think this is worth the price?
>>55215268
That fucking Surface touch shit. Nobody with standards uses that shit.
>>55215272
Not even my laptop is over 13". $60 for slightly more portability and good enough specs why the hell would I not get one?
>>55215288
Oh, I thought this was a netbook thread. The fuck's he posting a tablet for?
>>55215307
>I thought tablets had completely killed them off.
I know. This is a netbook thread for talking about fucking netbooks
>>55215242

>>55211131
looks like it's not the only meme you fell for lol
>>55215261
yeah I know, I set it to do that on purpose. Any higher and it needs to use the fans to cool down, I figured taking a performance hit would be worth it for almost double battery.
>>55215268
A couple still exist, but most are tablet hybrids.
>>55211131
I did like 5 years ago. It's pretty comfy on the movement.
>>55211354
Dude that ain't the same. First netbooks were overpromised so badly that had a lot of people going out and buying one, only to be dissapointed with no more than 4 hour battery life if you were lucky. Most netbooks were so poorly made and hard to upgrade, you couldn't even play old games in them without slowing the thing down. On the other hand I seen someone with a HP Stream 11, the entire thing has shit tier quality worse than netbook, but god tier battery life over 8 hours in a 1.5lb package, and acceptable performance. still to damn expensive, you can just buy a x220 and a expanded battery for the same moneys.
>>55215242
I see I wasn't the only one doing that.
i have an 11" hp mini 311 with nvidia ion. i let my nephew use it for 0ad and gmod on lan. it's running lubuntu with 3gb ram and oc'd atom n270 at 2.3ghz
>>55211354
>I have some standards.
>Uses Wincuck 10
>>55211131
Pic related.
Used it for uni some yesteryears, lasted me a while, sold it to a mechanic that was a bit computer illiterate, gave him instructions on how to operate an take care of it, went to car service a couple of months ago and fucking computer is still rocking the same W7 installation I left it with.
The guy actually listened and took good care of it. He says he likes it more than smartphone.
Take into account that I live in 3rd world.
Spent about 150 on this shit.
UI never works right because of screen resolution.
Feels bad desu.
>>55216127
That's actually Wincuck 10 LTSB with deleted poo and botnet.
>>55215268
Well it's all 11" or hybrids. What I have here it Lenovo E10-30, 10" classic netbook. Pretty much last of it's kind.
>>55214834
If you cant into SoC's you're just pleb. Git gud, baka senpai #YOLO
fuckwad.

Also, you should just use -s if you use X and you have scrot installed.

>>55216445
I happen to like the way my Acer Aspire One runs gentoo.
>>55211131
How are you using 600+MB of RAM
>>55211131
Samsung nf-110 here
>>55215268
The number of current models still made by the Japanese can be counted on one hand if you consider below 12" netbook territory.
>>55218227
In all seriousness, how long are compile times on it?
>>55220081
Maybe distcc?
>>55219241
Are you using some config for tiling?
>>55220988
No, manually, but searching for some config, do anyone have any?
>>55211354
>32-bit OS
shit nigga what are you doing
>>55213184
>Anti-aliased blurry fonts on a tiny screen
Just use Terminus, nigga.
Fell for this meme back in 2008. Haven't started it for about 2 years now I reckon.
>>55215242
>stats on the desktop
>>55211301
>panning
Just scale nigger
I did. I bought an X120e five years ago and now it gathers dust. I think because /g/ recommended it to me.
>>55222767
>64-bit OS for system with 2 gigs of RAM
for what purpose
I have a nice compaq mini running debian, it's pretty comfy and light so I use it when I travel, if this thread is still up later i'll post a pic or two
>>55219586
I don't really count anything over 10" a netbook. My laptop's 12" so anything larger would be completely pointless.
>>55224097
64-bit processing. It's not just to address more RAM, you know.
>>55211131
I have a netbook that's a file server/seed box/TeamSpeak/print server and it's pretty neat.
>>55211131
Years ago I did. Turns out I'm too clumsy for any type of laptops. Broke 2/3 of the screen. Now my netbook is serving as NAS box.
