If I can do it all on a Netbook then I will leave my laptop at home.

And each of my recorded shows are about 4Gigs and with about 10-15 recorded shows so would need about 40Gig to 60Gig of drive spaces.

Solid-state drive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Limited write (erase) cycles: Flash-memory cells will often wear out after 1,000 to 10,000 write cycles for MLC, and up to 100,000 write cycles for SLC[20], while high endurance cells may have an endurance of 1–5 million write cycles (many log files, file allocation tables, and other commonly used parts of the file system exceed this over the lifetime of a computer).

Ah! Make sense to me.

Netbook is not designer for Media and heavy edit video.

Remember netbook is for Word,Excel, Powerpoint, surf, email, and pictures. So perfect for SSD and not worry about number of cycles. That's why SSD is so small and perfect for business. Also netbook dont have dvd player.

Also netbook is perfect for VRS like Purple.

Just my two cents.
