Over the past month I have been tracking a few different netbooks. The MSI Wind, ASUS 1000H, and the Acer Aspire One. After considering both price and availability, I picked up a 1000H. Things were going pretty well, but there were little nuances that the macbook did well that the 1000H did not. Touchpad scrolling is important. This was not a strength of the 1000H. There were also some things that I was just hooked to on OS X. So, the 1000H went back, and my test with netbooks was over.

If you have a mac, and you are into watching lots of media, you need to check out Plex. It is awesome. The new one features a new view which has better library features, and just looks plain amazing. Movies, TV Shows, Music… all look great. Plots, movie posters, episode names… all done automatically. You could drop this thing in an old xbox if you don’t have a mac and it works about the same. It makes looking through my movies almost as exciting as watching them.
