I understand the desire for lightness, I'm just not sure that you'll want to use a netbook for a primary computer. They're not really designed for that kind of usage, and those cramped little keyboards can be a pain.

A full size laptop can be had for $600 with decent specs, and even at 5 or 6 lbs is pretty easy to cart around if you've got a bag for it.

If you're hellbent on a netbook and want a eee PC, I'd recommend the 1201pn over the 1001p. Those Ion gpu's are pretty powerful for what they are. You won't play the latest and greatest games on it, but it'll handle any video needs just fine.
