for those of you that have them or have used them regularly. Are they too small? I'd probably be doing a little video editing but I have an old computer monitor I could use. Other than that mostly surfing the internet and watching movies and typing stuff.

Im using that exact computer right now, with 256 built-in RAM and 256 extra added. Runs beautifully.

A LESSON FROM A HARDCORE SMOKER:
if your really hardcore you can just smoke out of your hands. make a loose fist but keep your fingers together and pack the entire empty space in the middle with herb. then open up your pinky finger enough so that the herb doesnt fall out but you can light it. then just breath in from the top hole and ull get mad respect -eastar5

if all ypour doing is browsing the web, chatting, and maybe a little light photoshop use then no. if you doing any gaming, or graphics then ya.

and no the screen is just fiine unless you suck at seeing.

I would love to have one for just bumming around campus to surf the web and stuff. My laptop is a beast, but it's more powerful than a desktop.

No way id be able to edit video on a 12". That's REDICULOUS! I feel seriouslly squisshed for space on a 17" and a 15.4" wide screen.

well i had pretty much the same question, so if it is that hard to edit on, how hard is it to hook up to an extra monitor, or is a tv possible? i have no idea. and is it even ideal to use another moniter?? im gonna be at college so i might have to carry it around but i will also edit tons on it.
