What I think a netbook should be like (Score 1)

A netbook in my opinion should have the following specs:

* the size of an EeePC 9x - if it's any bigger I would rather get a regular notebook.
* 9'' Display with good brightness - if it's highly portable I want to use it everywhere, including outside on a sunny day.
* a usuable keyboard, like the Dell one has - I wouldn't work with it a whole day but for longer text inputs it should be comfy enough.
* at least 12GB, perhaps even 20GB SSD - SSD are just more robust. I don't need tons of storage on a netbook.
* wireless lan and kind of mobile phone modem - hey, this is for mobility, isn't it?
* webcam of usable quality - I don't want to record a movie but for vid-phone usage it should be sufficient for most enviroments.
* should be able to run Linux without losing any features - I don't mind if the netbook is offered with Windows, too but I prefer the penguin.
* don't forget at VGA and Sound out
* 4 hours on battery should be minimum

I wouldn't use the netbook for photo or videoediting nor for gaming but for email and www, some text editing or calculations, perhaps as a presentation machine when connected to a beamer. Might also be nice as a playlist controller for a party.
