@luke I would be using this for a similar sort of thing, if i’m travelling it is a lot easier to take something like this which has a little bit of power and decent battery life.

@rich This thing is about £350…

@stuart I have looked at the Toshiba’s, not had great experiences in the past with them though.

I got a Toshiba Netbook, wasn’t expensive, maybe £270 similar hard drive size to above, not sure of processor speed but it does the trick, and it literally does fit in the inside pocket of my fleece, pretty cool seeing the envy when I reach in to take it out during meetings and to Richard – the small size is a real blessing when you travel around a lot – especially on planes.

not sure, the point of a net book to me is that it’s dirt cheap and you can do wordprocessing, watch videos and browse the net on it, a netbook over £200 you might as well get a 13″ laptop, how much is this thing?

I have been thinking sometime about getting a nettop (and I would get one if I wasn’t a poor student!)

It seems to make sense, whilst the majority of the editing I do (graphics, video etc) is done at home, it seems pointless for me to carry around a proper laptop, when most of the time all I do on it is surf the web and write up documents for college

My ideal set up would be an iMac for home and a netbook for portablity

With the release of the new iPhone this summer and the possibility of “tethering” I think the iPhone netbook combination could be quite a powerful one!

Let me know if you go ahead and buy one
