Help me, hivemind!

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.

Happily, the market has matured enough that there are a lot of good options.


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

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.

It's a competitor in that space, is all I'm saying, and your stated needs, it might have matched.


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