I want a lightweight computer that is you can do homework on. I DO NOT want it to cost $1200+.  I already have a powerhouse of a laptop from Asus (The G72).

i just recently got a lenovo thinkpad x130e. it's super portable and has AWESOME battery life. i am at school most of the day on monday and i get home with plenty of battery left even after leaving it on the entire time (and using it for 4hrs straight yesterday because my english class was cancelled), i haven't charged it since then, but it's at ~50%. the display could be a little better, but at least it isn't glossy. i have noticed that even with some of the higher priced machines that screens are not nearly as amazing as the one on my old inspiron 6000, which i use as a desktop at home since i has to be constantly plugged in.

anyway, i did a lot of research on netbooks and notebooks a few months ago and decided on the x130e. there is obviously a shit ton of bloatware that you will need to remove, but a clean install of windows does the trick (it comes with pro). the only gripes i might maybe have are that it is smaller than i am used to (11.6") and the display isn't wonderful, but the price (~$500) and the long battery life (i've been getting an average of about 6.5hrs of steady use), the keyboard doesn't feel cramped at all, and the fact that IT STAYS SUPER COOL ALL THE TIME (even with heavy usage) MORE than makes up for those two flaws. plus i could even upgrade the hardware a tad if i wanted to and that is a nice option to have -- it will accept an SSD as well as up to 8GB of ram (mine came with 4). it also came with a 500GB 7200rpm hdd but i don't know if they are available anymore. obviously you could upgrade that as well. it definitely doesn't have an optical drive, but most laptops these days aren't coming with them in an attempt to lose bulk, let alone notebooks/netbooks which always will opt for being light and ultra portable. i can live with that, externals are reasonably inexpensive.

Why not get the laptop that Acidic_Sloth was suggesting?  It seems to fit all your criteria for a laptop you would want ... :confused:

HB, it's the same thing as the one A_S suggested, except it's 100$ cheaper.  I've also had good experience with my other asus laptop.

I did like A_S's suggestion though, when I saw it was identical to an asus I was looking at earlier though it convinced me to go with the asus!

My personal suggestion is to stay away from netbooks, or any time laptop under 13 inches. They are usually VERY uncomfortable to do work on. Poor screen resolution, underpowered -- I know you are just looking for something for school, but if you can shell out a few hundred extra for something that will blow it out of the water: do it. It will be well worth it in the long run.

Sony has some 13 inchers starting at around 750 that are fairly reliable.

Also, what ever you settle on, get a SSD and put as much ram in it as possible. SSDs will make your rig, no matter how small, fast as hell. I have one in my MBP and it boots in 10 seconds. My friend put the same one in his GF's POS HP, and it boots in 15 seconds. Load times for software are also non existant.

No problem :]

I just put one in my rig a few months ago. Very quick they are...I can never go back to regular hard drives, and advocate them militantly...because I am a horrible nerd.

I like netbooks, but then I don't do a lot of typing. My desktop has the same CPU as some netbooks (AMD E-350 dual core APU) and I don't really need much more power for most of what I do (internet, playing movies, older games.) If I got another netbook I'd want to get one with more screen resolution though, e.g. the 11.6", 1366x768 ones.

I went with the netbook, soley because I already have an actual laptop, It's just a powerhouse and needs to be plugged in to use for more than an hour...  If I want something I can play games on I'll use that, it's a 17.2".

As far as something I can throw in my backpack along w/ my schoolbooks and just for writing assignments between classes I think the netbook would provide an all around use, as I don't see the use in spending an extra 300$ for a computer just to have a slightly more comfortable keyboard.

I know the older netbooks were highly underpowered, but it's looking like the new ones are improving- 4gb DDR3, a decent GPU for playing HD video, and a dualcore CPU.  I know you're trying to aim me in the right direction though RoastedPete, thank you!

Your welcome!

Well if you must get a netbook, I took a few moments to check out that Lenovo, and my vote is with that. You can stuff up to 8 gigs of RAM (which is usually about 40 bucks) into that thing no problem. Couldn't find any other specs on the asus, other than what amazon says.

Or did you already settle on one?
