My two oldest boys are thinking of using money that they have saved to buy a Netbook. They do not have enough money for a good laptop, but they don't really need all that computing power anyway.
They will want to do word processing, Gmail, and web browsing, including those silly flash game sites. Will a Netbook be able to do what they need? They want it not only to be useful, but "fun." By "fun" that does not mean installing heavy graphics games, but going to lego.com, and other basic game websites.
If a netbook is sufficient, which ones are best? Any particular brand? I am thinking that we want to stay around $200-250. Thanks.
