Netbook or Laptop?

jettagurl

I have an (ancient) notebook, so looking to get either a new netbook or laptop.  I'm a SAHM....if that matters (not for business at all). 

Primary use will be be internet/email, take with us OOT/vacation,  and I'd like to be able to do my photoshop stuff on there as well.  I have PS Elements 5 now....nothing elaborate.  PSE is on our desktop now, and I just use the notebook for internet/email during the day.  Also, I do some accounting stuff for our church....so I have a number pad with USB hookup and wireless mouse for that...so I MUST have 2+ USB ports. 

I like the Netbook for it's size/portability, but not sure if it's too small.  On the other hand, for daily/use just playing around online, I feel the laptop is too big.  I also don't like that (most) laptops in the 15" screen size range don't have media readers.

So, if you have a netbook....is it good for photoshop?  What don't you like about the netbook.

If you have a 15" laptop...cons about portability?  

Thanks!

For using PS, I'd recommend a laptop.  I don't think most netbooks are all that powerful.  Plus, they have a tiiiiiny screen.  It would be hard to see what you are doing.

I have a 15.6" laptop and don't find that it is cumbersome at all.
