Do they play 1080p mkvs? Are they half decent, any one have any input on net books?
Any suggestions on a cheap NB?
Thanks

Most netbooks will be similar enough that you don't really need to bother with comparing one over another too deeply. They should still be able to play 1080p mkvs with the right player/codecs. You may just be better off with 720p encodes if you can get your hands on those instead since a 10.1 inch screen isn't going to show very much difference.
Might not be a bad idea to buy one now, try it out for 2 weeks and see how you like it before you leave. Worst case scenario, the netbook idea just blows, and you return the thing in favor for something else.
Where will you be going out of curiosity?
