It really depends on the resolution as well, a lot of netbooks have that odd 1024x600 which isn't really good enough for most websites or apps.

12.1", Ion 2, DDR3, Win 7 Premium, 1.3GHz CULV and a decent size HDD or a fast SSD would be the ultimate $600 portable.

straight up win

you like apple huh? never would have guessed.

quoted for when the apple tablet hits and your tune changes

and speaking of tablets, i wonder how long until tablets and netbooks merge into one type of computer. don't see the point in a netbook if the tablet does the same thing, and looks better.

all my gf does on her netbook is play on facebook and watch movies. no need for a keyboard really..

I'm waiting for a Netbook/Tablet hybrid that has a touch screen but also a slide out keyboard that's about 7". I think it would work if they customized Win7 enough. Solid State HDD would be nice too.

I think all netbooks should have Solid State HDD since it would help with power and data retention.

I thought about it, too, but I ended up getting a full laptop. It's bulkier, yeah, but it has better specs and full functionality with nearly the same price.

Anyway, I'm new to Windows 7, so if anyone wants to link me to that thread, please.

I was thinking about getting this:

Should be good enough for me. It's the size of a laptop with no CD/DVD drive.

My wife has an Asus netbook and I like it but its too small for me.
