Basically, when I travel I use my laptop for browsing, email, and maybe a movie once in a while. I also open a PDF here and there and I might use excel or word every once in a while. Basically, I like a bigger screen for web browsing.

It weighs approx 4-5 lbs and is great but starting to get cumbersome and it does not fit my backpack very well and I cannot pack other stuff.

Laptop is great -- 50GB HD, 2 GB RAM and wifi and runs VISTA and stay by the kitchen for wife to access receipes online and stuff like that.

Desktop upstairs is the workhorse -- Getting a Core 2 Duo 3.15 HZ with an upgrade to 6GB RAM from 4GB and 1.5TB HDD internal.

So, the heavy stuff, multi tasking I do on my desktop.

Do you have recommendations for a netbook?
