netbook?

I've been working overtime lately (if I haven't commented/posted on something you thought I would have, now you know why) vand hoping it will be enough to  mostly-purchase a more portable laptop (and so free up more funds for WisCon) with either built in wifi or a port for remote connection (Rue* is about 6 years old) that I can take on trips, or just don't want to have stuck to one part of the apartment.  Anyone have any recommendations?  I'm not worried about having a lot of memory as Miss Edel* is a 500 GB external and fairly portable.  From what I can tell, a Netbook looks like the best option, but i'm not familiar with them.

Also, I added Lexx to my netflix queue a while back after someone compared it to Cleopatra 2525.  I'm attempting to watch the pilot, but it's...really bad, and really boring.  I suspect it's also pretty offensive, but I'm too bored to be sure.
