For what it's worth my friend had an emachine comp a while back and said it just caused him a lot of trouble. The specifics are long gone.

Asus and someone else are rated the top two. I'll try to find the link.

Yea, I was going to suggest a netbook for each of them. They can be had for about $2-300 all over the place.

This $269 Samsung comes with Windows 7 and can be expanded to 2G of memory but you won't need it...

Or here's the ASUS for $249

I wish these came out when I was in high school. I would have used it every day. There was one kid that used a Palm and a fold out keyboard.

My typing looks a whole lot better than my writing. LOL

I have the Gateway LT2005u from Best buy ($230). I got the 500gb external harddrive from Targets black friday and will be sticking that bad boy in her eventually. I'll also be upgrading the ram to 2gb cause I like to watch a lot of movies on it and adding the Broadcom HD decoder. LOL Good times.

I also have the Acer Aspire One AOD250 that Target had for sale for $200 for their pre-thanksgiving sales. Deciding if I'm gonna keep it or not. Most of these netbooks are all the same.

FYI. If you decide on netbooks and money is fine. Get 6-cell batteries. Mine advertises for "up to" 7 hours 27 minutes. Hahaha. Ya right. Hack of two hours and you get real world usage.

I ended up going with a Compaq Presario CQ61. I only got 1 and they can share. Normally $549, on sale for $399.

Brand fail apparently according to the feedback in this thread. How do they even stay in business? Somebody has to be buying that shit.
