What would you do, buy a netbook or a small notebook? I can't decide.......[/i]

I'd go for a 13 inch ultraportable with the fastest processor I could afford. Netboks are really to slow for my needs.

Netbooks stink.

Go the notebook route.

In all seriousness, consider a cheaper one with a Celeron processor and enough Ram. They're speedy enough.

Ordered a 10.1 inch HP network for my wife through Ebay and had to pay about 40,000 won taxes on it, still ended up being better and cheaper (with proper english Windows 7) than any netbook on the market here. I would say go for a 10" screen or a 15" screen and don't bother with the in-between.

I'm impressed with the performance:price ratio considering its size, but I bought myself a 17" Laptop as a desktop replacement mostly because I get eyestrain looking at smaller monitors.

netbooks are good for email

What do you want to do with the computer? If you know what you need it for, then that's gonna help you know what to look for. That's if you do need one.

[Mikejelai]

I will use it as a secondary computer, also, in the classroom for PPT, streaming video clips (some HD, some not HD). And for the other things - coffeeshops, on planes, vacation, etc.

Depends also on your budget.

As a second computer a netbook will be fine. Just make sure that the one you get has an HD compatible chip inside it.

You could consider the macbook air. That's almost small enough to be a netbook.
