I wouldn't disagree with your thought process at all. However, to save power, size, weight and cost, netbooks make trade offs in almost every area, compared to PC's. Make sure the laptop you purchase is up to the job by exploring commentary from users who have gone down the same road, and you should be in good shape. Not every portable is a good choice. -- eganders ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eganders's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=25846 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78444
