Back on the Mini 9 after spending an hour or so typing away and using the 10v. I really do love both netbooks as an OSX platform. I have to say, though, that I'm still less than thrilled with the kernel panics.
I would like to only keep one (which will probably be replaced by the iPad at some point) but they both have their places. I didn't get the bluetooth on the 10v, for example, so I can't jive with that when I'm mobile. It's a shame. The bigger keyboard is luxurious.
What I am running into with *both*, however, is the things they are both missing: Windows. I prefer running OSX on them, but (apart from the KPs) some things dictate a Windows environment. Case in point: I just acquired a USB GPS dongle. Extremely cool and cheap. Love the idea of using one of these things as a mobile mapping solution when required, but there aren't any reasonable OSX solutions for that. While, on the other hand, I have Streets & Trips 2009 sitting here, unused that's just begging to be installed on a nice, clean Win7 setup. Which netbook gets bumped back to Win7, though?
That's the question that I'm struggling with. A tough life - I know. The other grumble that I have is that I don't want to relinquish my only copy of Win7 to netbook activation and then not be able to use it for a different computer on down the road. Stupid MS activation...
