blackberry1. ASUS 10-Inch Netbook Netbooks are great for frequent travelers (most weighing only a few pounds), and their low cost make them a good second computer. This netbook offers a larger, 10-inch screen as well as 160 GB storage capacity, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g access, and up to seven hours of battery life.
