I have had good luck running WE on HP laptops. There is an HP laptop that has an 11 inch display. This is a wee bit larger than a netbook, but it has a multi core Intel processor instead of the Atom processor found in a Netbook. For a little more money you get something that is almost the size of a Netbook with more RAM and horse power under the hood. Battery life has been around six hours or so.
Like many brands, you can go through and remove a lot of the manufacturer's value added software.

And you do know that you can always customize the laptop to your specifications containing no bloatware, don't you? A tip is to never get a laptop that says fast ship or anything like that; and stick with business models if you can; consumer models are built so cheap it hurts. My father has a Dell Inspiron 1525 in the new style that Dell now uses for their Inspiron models, and it felt like it was going to come apart right there in my hands. Of course it wasn't, but metaphorically it felt like it could.

I'm in the process of possibly ordering a new laptop, as I haven't bought a new one in the past seven years, and want to get a Windows 7-equipped laptop before everyone goes to Windows 8. Can anyone recommend a good laptop or ultrabook that works well with WE 7..5.4.1, has Windows 7 Professional, is of high quality, and has minimal bloatware? I've seen posts that, for example, raise problems with Lenovos and some Dells. Please advise, as I need to make a decision relatively quickly.
