Hi Bob, oh, I absolutely agree, I'm going to buy myself a netbook one day in addition to my laptop. but some people only have the money for one, so I was trying to suggest if it's got to do everything; then I'm still onboard with the laptop as your best over-all choice. it won't be as good as a desktop at some things, and it won't be as good as a netbook at others, but it's the most versatile choice I believe.

It ways under three pounds and gets over 10 hours battery life on a charge. You can't do a lot of multi tasking, but that is not something that I'm going to do on the go. I use it for listening to internet radio, making skype contacts, email, and listening to other streaming content. It plays YouTube videos too without a problem. I also bought a small external dvd player/burner that is powered off the USB port and it works great also. A netbook can not replace your main computer, but for a carry anywhere, use anywhere rugged computer with GREAT battery life, you can't beat them!
