Surfing the web and emailing and other stuff like that won't be a problem. So when in the shop to select one, I'd concentrate on the screen and the quality of the video when the sales person gives you a demo of Youtube in HD via the shops wireless Internet connection.

If not happy with that, you might need a real laptop. But only trying will tell.

Many netbooks struggle to play video full screen so 720p is going to be trouble.

If you shop around you find slightly faster ION based netbooks and netbooks with a little more oomph like small 12 inch laptops.
