I like geany, but it really really needs an FTP plugin so I can edit files right from our live site as well as the local test site.

Also the ability to pull up the php manual would rock. Aside from those two things it is very nice, and small, and fast.

I love Geany! I’ve been using it for… oh, a couple of years now. It’s works well for me with HTML, PHP, and CSS. I have a friend who loves using it for Python, I believe. It’s really a solid, easy, and fast editor with a lot of nice features.

Along the same lines as the memory upgrade, an external DVD drive may be another buy you will want (just like with every other netbook). I did not invest in one, simply because I will not be needing it, but just a thought when pricing out your “full” purchase.

So, what is good and what is bad?

Pros:

Battery life - lives up to the advertisement (for the most part). I run it on the intermediate setting and get 7 hours easy. Currently at 45% right now and have 4 hours and 5 minutes left.

Wireless N and Bluetooth - while not “necessary” these are very nice. I can pick up
