Netbooks (itty bitty laptopy-things) are inexpensive, adorable, and easy to carry around, but the keyboard's tiny keys are impossible to work with, and the speed it takes to load a webpage is embarassingly slow.
I love my Gateway. It was cheap and has a nice big screen. It can handle anything I've thrown at it from image analysis software (Image pro plus, image j) to mapping software (ARC-GIS) and statistical programs (JMP).
Had a Dell Inspiron laptop for 8 years, and the first failure was the keyboard, after 2 years of abuse.
