<p>Hey everyone,</p>

<p>I'm thinking about getting a netbook for college. I already have a larger, heavier laptop but would like something lighter to carry around and use for lecture notes, in the library, or for researching on the internet. Basically just school stuff. I wouldn't need it for games or entertainment. Can anyone recommend me a netbook that includes the following features?</p>

<ul>
<li>Large keyboard for fast, easy typing</li>
<li>Preferably a 10-inch screen</li>
<li>Not too heavy</li>
<li>Under $400 please :)</li>
</ul>

<p>I was thinking about the Samsung NC10 but it's scraping the limit of my price ceiling and I've been trying to find a cheaper option if there's one out there. If not, it would probably be the Samsung.</p>

<p>Thanks very much for your help! I really appreciate it.</p>

<li><p>No netbook has a large keyboard. Unless I’m mistaken netbook keyboards are going to be 3/4 the size of a standard laptop keyboard.</p></li>
<li><p>Netbooks are 10" and under screen size so you should be fine there and none of them are more then 2 pounds.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>So with that in mind I would either go with an ASUS Eee PC 1000H/1000HA (only difference is bluetooth) or ACER Aspire One. These are the best ones in my opinion. First choice being the ASUS.</p>
