fwiw i just purchased an hp mini.  i plan on doing some traveling and
really liked the size of it.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834157030  it
doesn't have the fastest atom out but i love it.  recommend it.  large
keyboard, bright non-glossy screen and it's a pretty good brand (hp).
