Netbook is the worst thing you can buy. Buy a tablet instead. Here is a link as to why:  (http://studentandtech.blogspot.com/2010/08/tablet-vs-all.html)

Netbooks are just cheap computers that people use. They are practically useless.

Buy an iPad.  ;D

The iPAD is even worse. There is not multi-tasking, meaning that you cannot do two things at the same time, like listen to music and read the news.....

It is also very expensive and cannot play Flash. The worst thing to buy.

My brother has it and I think it is worth buying. Surfing the internet and watching movies was the most pleasant experiences I ever had. I agree that it needs improvements but it is not that bad either.

Well yea, but for studying purposes, its not the best option....

I mean, like if you buy a table you get a laptop + a touchscreen iPAD, which you can surf the web too...

And Hp has GREAT software to go with the tablet I suggested.....

Well, yeah that is because iPad is an entertainment device.

And yes, the tablet you suggested is also a good choice too.

LOL, then you cannot buy the tablet. Just keep the money for yourself, because a notebook is really just a waste of money in my honest opinion....

You will have to get rid of it after a year....

Save the money, and when you have enough spend it on something long lasting.

A tablet would be around 2000-3000 DHS.
