<p>Hey!
I currently have a Sony Vaio computer, but it's a bit big for my college backpack.
I would like to find a cheap, good netbook computer that lasts 4-5 hours at least of battery life.
Only basic functions needed (internet, Word, etc)</p>
<p>Your suggestions?</p>
<p>That’s pretty much the specs for any netbook. As long as u get a model that has a 6 cell battery, it’ll last 5 hours or more. I’d recommend asus’ eeepc models. Fairly inexpensive and have never given me any issues.</p>

<p>Netbooks are good options but one big problem the cheap ones have is only 1gb of RAM, and there’s a big price difference crossing over to a 2gb netbook. But 1gb should be fine for needs anyway.</p>
<p>There are also some Acer netbooks with a 11 in screen. Side by side with a ten incher, you can see a noticeable size difference. Yet, still a very small footprint.</p>
<p>An upgrade to 2 GB is $30 or so, if the netbook is reasonably designed…</p>
