Hey guys and girls. I'm in the market for a mid range netbook or small laptop for work. This won't be used for gaming but I may need to run Photoshop or Maya occasionally to show people WIP stuff.
It needs a good keyboard and solid build quality, around a 13 inch screen. I'm operating system agnostic, MacBook or Windows book would be ideal I feel. Ubuntu is nice but there's no Photoshop. Main reason I'm not keen on the MacBook is the keyboard and lack of tactile feedback for the trackpad. The Samsung NC20 was pointed out to me as a good piece of kit.
Price range is not a huge issue, if you could cap it at top 20% of high end laptops that'd be great. I feel above this region you're not getting a good bang for buck ratio.
If you'd point me in the direction of a handful that'd be great. I'm not a technophobe, I've just not owned a laptop in several years.
