I have one of those small gateway netbooks. It takes longer to do things with it, but I can browse and run basic office and programming software on it, so it suits my purposes fine, especially for its price.

I hear there is a "gamer netbook" out there, I think it's Asus brand. That may have a little more oomph to it.
