I am a Civil Engineering student and plan to buy a netbook in few days.My main uses for the netbook are gonna be surfing the internet(obviously), reading(ebooks and notes), writing(I'm a budding writer of sorts), programming and watching video lectures and stuff.
As I have a proper desktop at home, with a GPU and all, and I can do my AUTOCAD and gaming(not much of a gamer though) on it...I feel I don't need a full-fledged laptop. Also, I don't plan to lug around a 14" or a 15" all the time, and also stay tethered to the charging point...I guess a netbook will be a better choice. My only concern is that people keep saying the keyboards on netbooks suck...period. Seriously, is it that bad? Also, tell me which netbook will be a better choice. My main requirements are Atom Dual-core(preferably), DDR3 RAM, Good battery life and proper Linux compatibility. Budget is probably less than 20k.
Hoping for a quick reply!
