There are some cons to consider before getting a netbook. If you have large hands the netbook keyboard may drive you nuts. I’ve been typing my netbook entries while my spouse has been driving and the vehicle’s vibration combined with a touchy touch pad has resulted in the cursor hopping around unexpectedly. I’ve also found I need do something about the glare. Having bad eyes and a small screen is already enough of a handicap, any glare makes it so much worse.
If the only reason you are looking at a netbook is the price and you need a full-sized computer, then you should NOT get a netbook because you will be very disappointed. If you just want to write simple documents, read and receive email, search the Internet, post blogs, etc., then this is the right choice.
Netbooks are not powerful computers and are without many of the features that we have become accustomed to. There are no CD/DVD drives so you won't be watching movies on the plane (unless you preload the movie onto the hard drive), plus the amount of memory, the size of the hard drive, the quality of the sound and graphics are not going to be as fully featured as a normal laptop.
