The laptop I've got cost like 100 dollars more than the netbooks I've seen. You may not want gaming....but do you want a CD drive? For music, putting Microsoft Office on your computer or whatever? If so, laptop is the way to go, netbooks do not have cd drives which is why I will never get one.

Also, the keyboards are really small and cramped on those things vs. a laptop.

Also, toshibas have awesome battery life. My sony vaio kind of sucks, but not as much as my Gateway (overall-gateway had better battery life)
