Even a current netbook will be fine for 99% of internet/Word/Excel IMHO However, the smaller the machine, the more cramped the keyboard. 10" is a minimum (and uncomfortable IMGO) and 11" would be better.
Pay attention to screen resolution as well. Trying to do anything in Excel on a low res screen will be a nightmare.

U can get an HP pavilion for under $400 at Harvey Norman or JB. Even the newer model is only a bit over $400. You will find these snappier than the under-powered 10inch netbooks > On Wed, Jan 11, 2012 at 9:33 AM, mike smith <[email protected]> wrote: >> Tablet + bluetooth keyboard? >> >> On Wed, Jan 11, 2012 at 8:34 AM, Bec Carter <[email protected]> wrote: >>> G'day >>> >>> I'm after a 10-11 inch netbook/notebook which I will probably only >>> use for internet, occasionally working on word or excel and of >>> course I need a keyboard which is why a tablet won't do.
