    Hi there. I am looking for an Asus netbook ..there seem to be so many models. My requirements:

    1. Matte screen
    2. Large HDD (320GB ?)
    3. LONG LONG battery life ...
    4. fast charging battery...
    5. no heat issues

    Why ? Well I need to get a good netbook for the jungle. Need to be there for 2 months and in evening I like to watch a movie at times, or do some notes etc., even have 3G access at times. Last time I took a Samsung NC10 with single core Atom, and it survived, but battery time of 5 hours was not good enough. I have access to about 1 1/2 hours of electricity every day. So I need a netbook that charges quite fast. Am also looking at solar charges, any advice welcome.

    I was looking at tablets but all the paltry 16/32 GB flash memory is useless, and apparently tablets don't connect to USB external HDD (power issue).
