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.

so rip the DVD and then watch it off a USB stick? sounds like a pain in the ass

Get used to it. It will be the future. 22
