The best netbook computer: what should it look like?

Netbook computers are a hot trend right now: practically every big computer manufacturer has one. People love them, as they’re pretty cheap compared to a fully fledged laptop computer, they’re small enough to be carried around in a bag or a purse without noticing its weight and offer great battery live.

That's what I call nice styling

There are many variations out here but none of them is really perfect for my taste, everyone of them has something missing that I really need. Usually I don’t do that but now I think it’s time to make up a sketch of what would be the perfect netbook computer in my opinion. So let’s see what I come up with:

• screen size: the difference from 10 to 12 inch is not that big in dimension but the screen area can accommodate more pixels with easy without causing eye strain, so the perfect diagonal is 12 inches for me. And not to forget it has to be a LED illuminated screen for better colors and consumption
• resolution: 1366 x 786. Raising it to 1440 x 900 would not be suitable for my eyes at that dot pitch
• weight: if it’s around 1.5 kilograms (3.3 pounds) I wouldn’t mind, but only if the charger is smallish, like in current ASUS EEE PC models
• battery life: the more the merrier, so I would go for something like 8 hours of real life
• CPU power: current Atom lineups are not enough for what I do, I prefer some Intel CULV dual core (like the one in the higher spec Acer Timeline) with at least 1.6 GHz running speed
• RAM: 3 GB. More is a waste on current 32 bits operating systems, which best support current software
• Hard drive: I would love  a speedy 7200 RPM drive or an 128 SSD HDD but I would trade capacity for speed
• touchpad: large, with multitouch support
• keyboard:  like the ASUS EEE Shell models, maybe with illuminated keys
• connectivity:  WiFi, Bluetooh and 3G card
• extras: more than 2 USB ports, VGA Out, webcam (or a wireless webcam you can place anywhere), SD card reader, microphone, metallic casing
• no stupid things like Swarovski crystals which just increase the price without any real benefits

That should be it. What about you? What’s your dream netbook?
