I love netbooks I think they are great when you want to surf the net or do light work and you don't want to mess with a big laptop. They are also good when you are traveling as they are light weight and easy to carry. The cost of the netbooks have really gone down the last year and they are really affordable. They are great for kids as well, I was looking at the
hp mini laptops to see what they have to offer. I personally have a asus netbook and I can't complain about it, I use it all the time for various things, but when I need to do design work then I switch to my bigger laptop. Next time you are looking into a laptop look into a mini laptop or as some like to call them a netbook.
