Hi Cynthia:
I've used a couple of netbook computers. I would look for one that has maximum battery life and as close to a full size keyboard as you can get.

I use an HP Mini when I go on the road. It's light-weight and I can place my hands on the keyboard comfortably. On the downside, it runs Windows XP and it's a bit sluggish at times and the battery life is not nearly what I would hope it would be (only around 2 hours or so), but it's really convenient to have a small computer with me.

I got mine at eCost for well under $300. 

Ron
