I am looking for some feedback on using netbooks for photo storage when travelling. Up until now I have always travelled with a laptop in order to download my photos to the HDD and backup to an ext HDD. I may also use it for viewing my photos, and occasionally a lit bit of basic editing (but usually wait until I get home to sort and edit).
However I want to save a bit of weight, so am thinking of a netbook. An ultrabook would be nice but can't afford it! I need to get the weight down to around 1.2kg.
My main purpose would be downloading and storing the photos (JPEG and RAW) and video clips. It would be nice also to be able to cull unwanted stuff (especially the RAWs since they take up so much space). From what I have heard editing would be pretty limited on a netbook. Have also heard video playback is pretty ordinary so may limit my ability to cull video clips.
Also, does upgrading to 2 GB of RAM make a big difference in performance over the standard 1GB with most netbooks?
Thanks heaps!
