A bunch of you have netbooks. What do you recommend? I want to get one for my eventual travels: Light, durable, and as powerful as possible within those constraints.
I'm assuming Sabotabby might want to do something practical while she travels. An iPad might be enjoyable as an adjunct to a desktop or laptop, but good luck doing serious text entry or simple things like transferring pictures to it (without some marked-up Apple peripheral). Or using useful software.
Ugh. Budget aside, it doesn't have a keyboard. Even my cell phone has a keyboard. Not to mention that it looks fragile (or at least easily scratched), and you can't take it apart, just buy more apps for it.

If your budget permits, though, I'd actually consider an iPad. Seriously.

And I say this as a Mac girl.

Total sympathy, though - I spend enough time with my keyboard that doing things without the tactile feedback is a lot harder.
