Cable quiz: [link]
Cables, plugs, wires, cords...that connect your TV, audio, computer, iPod to each other and the rest of the world. You use them all the time, but do you know what they're called?
I got 80% - I missed an obvious one, and a new one that I haven't ever used....
I got 90%, I missed S-Video because I thought it had more pins than that. Shoulda gone with my gut on that one.
So, if you were asking your job to buy you a netbook, which would you choose and why? Price IS a consideration.
Oh yeah! 10 out of 10, bay-bee!
(actually, some I got through process of elimination, and I wasn't 100% of the telephone/ethernet one).
80%. Missed the last one because I'm lazy.

I like the HP Mini line - they're very sleek and have nice keyboards.
Of those, my Brother has the MSI Wind with an extra life battery, and it's pretty heavy for a netbook. I found it felt smaller than my HP, even those they are suppose to both be 10.1"
I like my HP except that it only had a 3 cell battery (and short battery life), and it also has a very annoying AC adapter that does not fit snugly into it's slot. I constantly have to keep pressing it in and even the slightest movement will cause it to become disconnected. Otherwise I love the speed, size and keyboard of my HP netbook, but I think I would look elsewhere had I known how irritating the plug would be. Mine was a refurb, and cost only $230 CDN.
I love my Asus. The six-cell battery has plenty of juice for what I need, and I'm glad I got the larger screen. The one thing that still throws me is the smaller keyboard, but it's only a minor irritation.

Me too!

The clues to that one were the flat cabling (not necessarily, but in general not as common for non-telephonic uses) and the number of pins.
