I am a big advocate of powerhouse computers, but a in my opinion, unless your degree requires that you run computationally intensive, high-memory software, (graphical design, programming, etc.) you should get a netbook. The average user needs a netbook for very few reasons: surfing the net, social networking, communication, watching/listening to media, and documentation work like writing papers or reports. You can do all of this very well on a netbook. Hell, you can even use them to network your house! Put one on your TV, one on your stereo system, keep one in your bedroom, all linked to a central media store, and all for less than the price of a high-end laptop!
