I like to stay with the smaller netbooks in the 9in or 10in range. Each to their own. 8-) I carry the 9in a lot. I take the 10in on trips for school assignments because it is admittedly easier to use for typing. Anything larger will encroach on my MacBook which will outperform any netbook so I would go with it instead if I have more power needs (screen recording, Photoshop, Powerpoint building, DVD burning) and can manage the weight and size while traveling.
