Laptop Choice?

I really like HP (i would as they are my client!!) but i would look more at the new Dell Mini 10. The build quality is about the same but you get a bigger battery and higher res screen (really important on the 10" models) for £10 less! If you click on this one: http://configure.euro.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?b=&c=uk&cs=ukdhs1&kc=NRSM1001&l=en&m_30=322357&oc=N00s1002&rbc=N00s1002&s=dhs and add the Higher Res screen.

• the 10" have no DVD/CDr drive, 15" do
  
  

There's no CDr/DVD drive on the Dell 10" that's a no unless I want to add an extra 60, pointless when I can go for a Dell 15" I watch DVD often and store images/upload from CD's often

Depends what you want to do - why are you considering a netbook? If all you want to do is pull it out in a coffee shop/libary and surf, yeah go for it. Anything else, I would say but a 13" or 15" laptop

Well, I travel from time to time, and its easier to carry a smaller laptop imo than a big one along with my stuff on the train/flight. But Im worried mainly how it will handle Win 7.
