Thinking about replacing a 4yr old IBM thinkpad with another laptop, especially now that the bottom 1/3rd of the screen just shows multi colored lines. Plus this thing is slower than all holy hell.. just opening folders, simple text files ect is slow (prob something I could partially fix but I'm a little sick of this thing)
So the big decision is really between getting another standard laptop or getting a netbook. Either way this will be my primary and only computer.
Usage is mainly doing stuff like this, surfing the net ect, playing car vids, typing, some games if it will support it although I havent played counter strike in like 2 years.
Price has to be under 400$

Or just going to best buy and some other local places and picking up whatever laptop looks like a decent buy.
Most of the time I am working off wireless sitting on my couch watchin tv (unemployment life is hard work)
Only thing I am concerned with is the screen size of the netbooks (scrolling on every webpage is enough of a pita that I dont use my Ipod touch to surf the internet even when its my only option), as well as the fact that it seems like computers in general seem to all slow down... cheaper less powerful ones, quicker than higher end units. I dont want this thing to slow down after putting a few gigs on the HD. I really am liking the battery life size and look of it though. not sure if its big enough really for my main computer.
