Hey all. I've currently got a 18" hp laptop, and I'm in the market for something I can carry back and forth to class a little more convieniently with a decent battery life. The wave of netbooks have caught my attention, mostly because of their compliance with my wallet.
All I'm looking to get out of it would be a word processor and a compiler. I was told that the cost friendly netbooks don't come with the power to compile, but these statements came across as more of a guess. Guess my question is:
(1) Can the netbooks out handle word processing and compiling?
and, if not:
(2) Is there a lightweight alternative that CAN handle this stuff and not add a terribly large amount to at the register?
