Netbooks are good if not trying to do more than one thing at a time. They are not fast machines, just small and portable. Screen is about 10.1" depending on what get and does not rotate. Really couldn't hold in hand like an ereader so not sure it would work for that. Just to surf and write wouldn't be bad but after while the small screen gets annoying to me. -- The HarmyBoard HarmDrive

In reply to: usmgrad 's message, "I had thought about a net book also, anything you can't do on it? Also have you used it as an ereader? I understand the ereader software (nook, kindle) can be downloaded to netbooks and laptops. I'm thinking about getting an all in one unit ( minus a phone)" on 07:20:14 01/16/11 Sun
