This isn't the first net book I have had. I previously had one and after having a netbook I definately would never go back to having a full sized laptop.
They have all the necessary functions but all compact and convenient, not to mention cute.
for me one of the main reasons for purchasing a netbook also was the price. I don't feel any laptop I've sampled was any better than this netbook.
It is also a very attractive netbook, I purchased it in purple and regularly have been complimented on it!
Content wise the netbook doesn't come with windows office and this is something you have to buy yourself. I also cannot put backgrounds on my computer which I find quite annoying but it has all the necessaries. It also has bluetooth meaning you can bluetooth things straight from your hone or camera onto the laptop which is always something I look for when purchasing a computer.
I would definately recommend this netbook. It is very good money and very good quality for money.
It would be especially useful for anyone at university or with a job with requires traveling and taking your laptop with you andit is a good size to fit in your handbag.
Size wise I also don't feel your compromising. PRehaps if you have poor eyesight it may be necessary to have a bigger computer so you can have a bigger screen but for me I certainly find the screen is very good quality and I don't have any problems reading anything, apart from on the odd occassion when I have had the picture not completely fit but by resizing the screen I have overcome this issue.
Definately recommended.
