What size and what's your budget?
No netbook is really tough by any stretch of that, you might be able to get away with dropping them on a bed or sofa but they'll die if you drop them on the floor.

I've seen some around £160-70
but there's no way I'm buying from PC world. That seems a reasonable amount to pay. If it's worth it I may spend a bit more - I have a grown up job and everything now

You can get a shit laptop for 250 quid
which will be infinitely better than the best netbook.

this may be true, but since it's bigger
I won't carry it round, thus making it a waste of time.

So you're actively looking to spend the same amount of money
on something you know will be worse because it'll be slightly bigger?

OK. Enjoy your netbook, then.

worse for some things
better for others. A proper real computer would be better, but I have on of those and they won't fit in my bag. Seriously, this thing won't be needed to do any heavy work

have you thought about spending less money on a bigger bag?
