In general, you're going to want to get an N450 or one of the dual core
variety of NetBooks.
I recently got my son a NetBook for his birthday, and you couldn't pay me to
use one of those things for remote support. I'll deal with the weight of a
laptop, thankyouverymuch. The speed is not quite
My daughter has an Acer Aspire, and absolutely hates it.
It is really slow, and she wishes she went for a small notebook instead.

I recently got a ThinkPad X100e because it has a bigger screen than other
netbooks. It's 11.6, which gives a resolution of 1366x768. It's still small
and light, though, and gets decent battery life.

I bought an HP Mini last year as a family Xmas present, more for the
kids than for the wife and myself.
Overall it's decent for what it's used for, which is mainly WWW surfing.
I did upgrade the RAM to 2GB and upgraded Windows 7 to Ultimate. Word
has been run on it a few times and it's not bad.
I've worked with Netbooks from Dell, Acer, MSI, Lenovo and HP and have come
to the conclusion: they all suck.
I'd much prefer a lower end notebook with a 12-14 screen, higher resolution
than X x 600, built-in CD drive, and normal keyboard for my fat fingers.
That said, my wife loves her cute
Latitude 13, which is really thin and light. I like this
much more. Here are the specs:

Search Newegg for netbooks with the N550 processor. It's dual core with HT
and review sites like it a lot over the N450 (playing with one of these now
w/ Win7). When you say you won't be needing much power that's good because
there isn't much to have. But the N550 is about as good as it gets for
Just a kvetch about these things...
Why is it that they don't shrink the pixels, so we can get real
resolution in a smaller area? I don't see that it would be that hard
to get 1280x1024 in a 10 frame.

screen specs and resolution for laptops are the suck now. i actually
used a thinkpad t40 until 3 months ago. started searching for a
replacement and was amazed at the degradation of quality screens in the
laptop market. the bulk of them come with shiny screens. and most are
widescreen now.

Because they're trying to keep costs down. Or markups up. Or some
combination of the above.
