I understand this is a Mac forum, but I am seeking a netbook to replace an aging MB. I have an iMac, so I will use that for most of my computing needs, but would like a netbook for the following reasons:
-To surf while on the couch
-Edit word processing documents
-To take with me on photo shoots
-Occasionally hook up to my HDTV to watch espn360 basketball games
With these in mind uses in mind, I'm looking for...
-Good build quality
-Good quality screen (to view my pictures I upload)
-6+ hours battery life (I understand real world will be less)
-SD card slot
-HDMI (not needed, but would make hooking up to the tv exponentially better)
-Ability to watch hulu/youtube/nbc/abc/etc. in SD (HD would be great, but I don't know what I would need in order to have this work on a netbook)
Do you have any suggestions? I would really like to spend less than 350, preferably, 299, but may be willing to stretch the budget.
