I have had a netbook in my room for a few years. I love it because it's cute but dang, it's tiny. Sometimes I have to take off my glasses and put my nose right up to the screen to see stuff. I finally splurged on a cheap 15.6" laptop for it and it's nice and big! yay! AND it has a dvd drive so I can watch videos in there. It'll be SO much nicer to use EQ right on that computer instead of having to design on my desktop and transfer the files over. Plus I put the kids' old printer in there so I can even print stuff from it. :mrgreen:

in case anyone is curious, the one I got is a lenovo that I snagged for $299 from rapidbuyr a couple of weeks ago. Intel pentium inside and windows 7, so a big improvement over the little netbook. I think it goes on sale at this price from time to time at different sites.
