I’m considering to buy my first ever Netbook (yikes! ) and I’ve never used a 10.1″ one before. So could you please tell me that a netbook with 10.1″ screen with res of 1024×600… is it a bit hard on the eyes, I mean, will the windows looks too big or too small??, can it be a pain in the a*$ to use for longer periods ?. Thanks.

No, definitely not a mobile version.

There are two kinds of problems I’ve experienced using my Aspire One netbook for Google Spreadsheets. 

While I can’t replicate at this moment the one I described above, I can replicate this one: The registration of the rows is badly misaligned! I put my cursor on the far left column in a row and what appears is an outlined box around the bottom of one cell and then about 3/4 of the cell below that. Some rows are worse than others — to the extent that you can’t even tell which row you’re on. I can send you offline a document that I’m talking about.

I also will sometimes with only some data-intense spreadsheets get the message below — but not on most docs.

“Your browser’s current zoom setting isn’t fully supported. Please reset to default zoom.” “Dismiss.”

As for the Google Docs problem, hmmm, I haven’t noticed it. Are you sure you’re not using the mobile version or something? The only “productivity” problem I find with netbooks is the fact that they have small screens and low resolution, thus you can get only limited info at a time on these displays.
