if rs lags any new computer then you have a serious problem.

Never had a netbook so can't advise you sorry

I have a netbook, RS07 works perfectly on it. If you're looking into net books I'd have alook at chromebooks.

How much do you have to spend? I can have a look at models which I'd suggest for easy gaming, I would highly reccomend you steer away from anything using onboard Intel for graphics, they are horrible for EOC, 07 yeah they work fine because its really no stress to them, but EOC the anti-aliasing is shocking, and you'll lag like a beast if you try and go fullscreen or play at some kind of high graphics settings, unless it has somthing like an i5 in it.

I work for an IT company, i can guide and suggest what would best work for you

Hey chilli, thanks for the reply... my buget is around $500... Im actually looking for something as small as possible, And i dont play EOC anymore... Just purely for 07 scapping and surfing the webs, thats all.. Im actually looking at the google chromebook not sure if its the right choice for me.

Chromebooks are cool, and will do fine... But they won't run Java. Chrome OS doesn't have Java support, so you'd have to wipe it and install Ubuntu... Which isn't too hard, but it won't work OOTB.
