Re: Laptop vs Netbook
I love my Asus Eee PC 900 netbook. Had a Linux Ubuntu installed instead of the crappy Asus interface, works well with office progams, graphics tools, audio tools, DOS Box etc. Battery life quite reasonable, can hook up an external DVD-RW drive for playback and burning, USB sticks also work well, as I understand that as a legal owner of a DVD, I can keep a file copy available (hint, hint). Surfing's good, ain't much a fine-tuned Firefox can't handle. Easy to carry around with me, can live with the touchpad, although have the basics still as external components as well (headphones, mouse, DVD..). When traveling, can live without them, though. Currently my only computer and once you get used to it (provided your daily use doesn't include something like Pro-Tools or Maya), netbook's really a wonderful little piece of work.

Re: Laptop vs Netbook
turns out my brother had this old dell inspiron 1300 that he had all fucked up with viruses and shit and the sound card was fucked and all that jazz...needed a battery etc etc
he gave it to me and after a couple days of fuckin around formatting the hard drive, reinstalling drivers and upgrading hardware i am presently typing away on our new laptop .. the sound even works 
pretty decent machine especially for the price 
...prolly the same speed as my desktop
