Last summer I bought a WinXP laptop, thinking it would be used when I
travel--for browsing, email, and word processing. However, it's too large
and heavy for me to cart around airports.
I've been reading about netbooks, which are much lighter and which still
come with WinXP. What sorts of things should I look for in a netbook? I know
I want a clear, readable screen, even if it's small (and one that I saw
recently looked awful) and a decent (though small) keyboard. I suppose I
could manage without an internal CD/DVD drive, since I could plug in an
external one at home--but is it better to have an internal one? What about
the hard drive? Are solid-state drives OK in general? Anything else I should
check out?
Thank you for your help!
