I would strongly recommend that readers check out the Asus Eee PC, a sub-notebook. I have the seven-inch screen version, and there's a ton of buzz on the Net about the newer nine-inch screen. The device starts at about $299 for older models, and the lowest-end devices run Linux, have WiFi, and come with Google Apps and OpenOffice built in. My nine-year-old son loves his, and I use it from time to time for fast WiFi, email and doc exchange on business trips. If you absolutely prefer Windows, Asus also makes sub-notebooks with Microsoft's OS built-in. Esme: Great topic. I would strongly recommend that readers check out the Asus Eee PC, a sub-notebook.

Your macbook has instant on/off. Close the lid, it goes to sleep, open the lid, it turns on (immediately) “(6) Instant on and off: what I hate about the Mac Book Pro is that it takes a while to start and sometimes even longer to power down.”
