What are the drawbacks of getting one compared to a regular laptop? Obviously the portability is great, but in terms of performance, all I do is manage my music and media, surf the net, check email, etc. Do netbooks do all that efficiently enough?

"You can play warcraft 3 on them, but not WoW because it gets too choppy." Is the description I was given when I asked about performance.
Anyone I know at school who has one says they are perfect for everything they need it for, except the gaming. I thought the screen would be way to small as well but I used one for an hour or so and the screen didn't bother me at all, but the keyboard did a little bit. Luckily with my non standard 5 finger typing method adapts easily by the end of an hour. Really not much different than the difference when I switch from my normal keyboard to my 15.4 keyboard. Keys are in different places etc and it messes you up at first.

One of the reasons I am waiting is to see what the Mini 12 from Dell brings to the table.
