    I was thinking about buying a netbook. And i was wondering if they would be able to do what i want in a computer. I'm not big on gaming but i play some browser based games like runescape. Other than that id just be using word processor and going on the internet and streaming youtube videos. Would a netbook like the asus eee pc 904hd xp suit my needs?

    So basically just web games and word processing?
    A netbook should be fine with that. However that is a small screen, are you sure you wont want something a little bit bigger if your going to be sitting in front of it for a long period of time to play games like runescape?

    I have my eeepc hooked up to a 17" LCD monitor when I'm home.
    I also have a FF addon called nosquint installed so when faced with my 7" screen out of the house, I can set sites on a magnification level once and then nosquint remember's that sites settings. Some forums I set at 105%, others up to 130% because the software is different.
