Let me underscore one of Karen's points about Windows 7 on a Netbook. I moved to a Samsung netbook to take advantage of the better keyboard. The unit I purchased only came with Windows 7 Home. Even with 2 Gb memory installed, the Samsung has ben excessively slow with WE 7.2. I may attempt to purchase a copy of XP home and install that on the Samsung or replace the unit as soon as I can.

When we bought our Asus netbooks. Also with the Dell, the function key does not behave as expected. I'm running XP on my netbook as it was recommended at the time that one not get Windows 7 on a netbook. Keep in mind that this was prior to Windows 7 coming out. We run 2 gb of RAM in our netbooks, having had that upgraded at the time of purchase. HTH.
