Netbooks

[fearmeforiampink]

Am considering getting myself a netbook/similar at some point in the next few months, as while my current laptop is lovely, and I love the ability to lean back in a comfy chair with a powerful and large screened computer, I'd also like one I can take everywhere without noticing, for taking it to gaming nights and so forth.

Stuff I'm after, in no particular order

• Cheap. Doesn't have to be high spec, I want something that doesn't set me back too much


• Light. Being utterly tiny isn't so much a thing, as my bags are reasonably large, but I don't want too much weight


• Decent for reading PDFs from, as this will be one of its major roles


• Viable for dealing with email on (though doesn't have to be great for writing long long replies)


• Tough. This is fairly high priority, as I can be rather hard on my possessions

Tablet could work as long as it's not too expensive. Would consider an iPad, but the lack of true multitasking for swapping between character sheet and PDF would be annoying, and I don't need the apps.

So, what would people suggest?

Yes it is (as far as I can see). I use dropbox a lot - I even paid for extra storage. It's fine for making sure that a particular pdf is on every device I use, but it doesn't allow me to get all the files I want into GoodReader easily.
