I've been looking at Lenovo and Dell. Lenovo has a promo for an extra 20% off. I am not sure if Dell has a promo or not. I am leaning towards a Lenovo Ideapad S10-2 or S12. I just wonder how they will do with XP or Windows 7 Starter and which to get. I also wonder if they have an optical drives, I suspect not which could make program installation difficult. ;-)

No netbooks have an optical drive that I'm aware of. I bought a Rosewill external USB slim DVD burner to use with mine. Slim external DVD-Rom drives are about $30 and burners are about $50.

Thanks, GLC. I'll have to decide whether by the time I add a DVD burner and perhaps a usb modem (to be able to surf during power outages) and the cost of the netbook makes it worth it, or if I am better served to move up to a laptop. :-)

Food for thought: Do you need the really small part?...Your $500 budget puts you in to Notebook area....

GLC, I was thinking of getting one with XP. If not, I can use the program elsewhere. :-)
