I have a macbook, but I bring my netbook everywhere I go. Easier to carry when it's in a sleeve as opposed to a full laptop in a bag. Plus if it's lost or stolen, you're only out 300 bucks instead of 1200 or more.
I have an Asus 1005HA, and I love it. Runs about 300 bucks, 8 hour battery life. Similar to the one posted above but I've never used that model.
