Re: Low cost Netbooks for scouting

Is it a better idea to just record every match with a single camera, and keep some notes, and use that instead? I think after a few batteries and memory cards, it will be a lot cheaper then a bunch of netbooks, and probably more reliable, as laptops have hard drives, and say if someone drops it, then its gone, but a camera may break, but usually the memory doesn't. And overall, paper written note don't break, although they can be damaged. And again, almost any netbook out there can't last you 10 hours, and I expect more like 5. There are many options out there, just it is really limited to what your spending limit is.
