    If all you really need is internet access, then a Netbook will save you a little bit of money. Otherwise, for a little more money laptops are a better way to go because they can do so much more. A decent Netbook might cost you $250 whereas a bottom end laptop might cost you $350.

    You can buy a used netbook cheap on craigslist.

    Netbook will work for you if you have good eyesight and won't use it for anything that's graphic intensive. Most netbooks plays online video up to 480p ok which is dvd quality. Netbook's two advantages are price and weight if you carry it everywhere it's noticeable, it's good to have as a complement to another computer.

    Notebooks have more performance power but costs and weighs more. Dual cores cost more but can do a lot more and will be more limited by the internet connection speed than hardware unless it's the latest game. If you want to watch 720P videos and higher on a regular basis get a notebook and be happier.

    for my area i visit point that the two one in all those Notebooks or Laptops are relatively sturdy and are comparable too, those works relatively sturdy and ideal. On different hand you need to purchase a refurbished laptops that are relatively staggering and ideal, those laptops are sturdy and solid too. offering you some web pages from the place you need to purchase a refurbished laptops on sturdy low fees.

    Get any netbook and run Ubuntu on it. Ubuntu is the best OS in my opinion and I have use Windows 7 and XP.

    Acer Aspire one is a good netbook by the way. And ubuntu can de downloaded at www.ubuntu.com

    You can get a netbook. Try looking at ASUS Eee PC's, they're fairly inexpensive and ASUS is good at making netbooks.
