Netbook
So I finally decided to buy a "netbook" (Mini laptop) and I have to say, it's been one of the best purchases I have made in a long time, and the first time I've ever bought a new computer. 
Its an Advent 4211, which is a re-branded MSI Wind, so it has a:
- Intel Atom N270
- 1gb ram
- 80gb Harddrive
- 10" Widescreen
- XP Home Edition
- Webcam
- Around 1.2kg
- And of course the standard array of wireless options
And so far, it seems to be working real well so far. And the best part of all, it was only $660 NZD (£239 at duty free), which I thought was pretty good for a machine like this considering they're about $950 at home. Of course it has a European keyboard, but it actually seems to work quite well on a machine like this, even if it takes me a while to find the correct buttons sometimes.
Battery life is decent, haven't really had the chance to test it out properly yet, but it appears to be around 3 hours if I'm using it heavily, so it might do slightly better if I'm just surfing the web.
