Hi,

Can anyone offer me advice on a ss net book? I figure they will use less power than a hdd.

Thanks

I'm not sure about power---I think the major advantage is weight. Be aware that the flash memory does have limited lifetime.

Beyond these generalities, I would simply compare specs.

Major advantage is no moving parts: silent, less heat, more durable.
