I'd go to Best buy and get the 250 buck asus eee Netbook
Its got a 1.6 processor, 160gig HD, VGA out, Card reader. Full keyboard. 8 hours of battery life.
This last time when I bought a laptop I thought about my 5-6 laptops I've owned over the years.
Most died to getting broke. One died to being obsolete, but it was one I just used on a desk. I also vaguely recall being worried about losing it. Having it stolen. Breaking it. Allowing others to break it. Wondering if I should take it, they are heavy enough I didn't want to take it some places. I never really needed that much computer power. I'm not running big spreadsheets or photo editing.
At this point, 250 is about what I think is a good price point for a laptop. The Ion Nvida card can push 1080P, its light, its small, and when I step on it, Its 250 bucks for a new one. I use the stupid thing all the time. Its awesome.
But this perspective works for me because I'm a laptop user. I use it for travel and convince around the house. If your a guy who buys a laptop to do a desktop's work, you might want to do differently.
