Mini Notebooks

[slosurfer]

My brother had a Dell mini notebook with him while we were waiting in the hospital waiting room last week and it was pretty cool and got me thinking that I want one. He was actually able to order a refurbished one for $175 for his wife while we were in the waiting room (I think that deal is over though).

Anyways, I guess if I got one, it would mainly be used for email/internet, watching instant netflix movies, and possibly gps later on. Also, if possible, it would be cool if I could sync it with my quickbooks for the business that is on my desktop at home. Not sure if this is possible since that's a pretty big program and not sure if I could just use a flash drive or what. (this isn't as big a deal, but would be cool if it could do that)

So, I know nothing about mini netbooks (or whatever you call them), so what are some things to look for and what are some good ones? (preferably cheap and user friendly)

Yes there is that other thread, but in short, I got my acer netbook for about 320 and that's with the extended battery. I love it. I take it everywhere. It's also nice to use on the couch while I watch tv
