I have been seeing a lot of people with the EEE PC type computers, the ones that have between 8" and 10" screens, most of them can be had for around $200 - $300 dollars and for what you are looking to use it for, it would be plenty powerful

Ive got the 10" EEE PC. I take it to class with me, but it is VERY small. Its annoying at times. My next computer will be a 13.3". Perfect size.

I agree that it is small, I personally have a 13.3" macbook and it is perfect, I used to have a 15.4" toshiba and it seems too big when i use it after using the macbook for a while.

Well, I'm sitting in my mini-mancave, using a MSI Wind Netbook. It only has a 10" screen, but it's great for my purposes of surfing the internet, email and light wordprocessing and such.

I already have 2 other laptops, a Toshiba and a Dell, both with the extra wide screens and all the bells and whistles. The problem is that they both weigh 6 or 7 pounds. My netbook weighs about 3 lbs total. It doesn't have a CD/DVD drive, but it has a built-in webcam, a keyboard that's 95% of a full-size keyboard, and it's perfect for what I want to schlep in and out of the house.

I did purchase a second power supply that I leave out in the MMC, and the WiFi works great out here. This one ran around $400 from BestBuy online, and I'm perfectly happy with it. I know you can find them cheaper if you look around. I also bought a wireless logitech mouse, mainly cuz I hate the built in touchpads that most laptops have.

Anyways, that my
