Any recommendations on a good one? I need it to be able to access Epic, be sturdy enough to survive a little bumping around, and be able to run the Windows apps that I need (MS Word, PowerPoint, Excel).
There are now Asus eees that run Windows, right? I'm looking at netbooks, too, and I need one that runs Windows, because I need Word and Eudora. In fact, I've been wondering if netbooks are robust enough in general to run Word.
I'm a copyeditor and a personal assistant, so those are the two applications I use most often. I may have to give up Eudora eventually, but I haven't found anything I prefer yet for the way I use e-mail.
Actually, the application that's most important to me is the web browser, but I take it as given that something called a netbook will cover that handily.
Depending on how much you want to spend, the HP 12.1" touch screen laptop / tablet is pretty nice. I've got one and really enjoy it. It's a little over twice as much as the EEE PC.
