If you plan on using it in one spot, a nettop device might be a better option. With an LCD monitor the footprint isn't that much bigger, and it'll be much better for day-to-day use than a netbook. The problem is those cheesy little keyboards -- they're fine for occasional use, but you'll probably want a full size keyboard if you're going to be on it frequently.

If you really want a netbook, we can help you pick one. The question is, what's your budget? Are you just looking for something cheap? The low-end models are fine for browsing, but they won't handle heavy flash or high definition video too gracefully.

I like Toshiba Satellites. I've never used the netbooks, but their full size laptops are very nice.
