So I'm making this thread because my mom needs a new computer...kinda my fault. Anyways i don't know all that much about the newer netbooks and i was looking for some input from the experts. so ill let her tell you guys whats shes looking for.

preferably 4 hours of battery life or more
durability and good repair record
at least 10 inch screen
easy to view screen with minimal glare
at least 2-3 USB ports
$399 or less
keypad for someone who touch types, not hunts and pecks
preferable SSD
touchpad that doesn't get inadvertently hit when typing and is easy to use


thanks guys

Best Of Both Worlds and it just came out: http://www.gateway.com/systems/product/529668275.php

You'll be using your Atom-based netbook as a paperweight with that thing around. And it fits the bill: $399.

I quite like that Perkham, it's not available in the UK but I suddenly feel my stateside shopping trip leaping into the old diary :)
