I use my Android tablet. Small, light, has an SD slot and a full-size USB. Transfers files from the card to the thumb drive and also lets me view them. More expensive than a netbook, though.
understood — i use a 64GB iPad Mini (original) with the SD card dongle — not quite as flexible, but it's a great viewer, and it can suck up hundreds of K-5 RAW images
but there isn't quite enough space for some trips, e.g. recent trip to Marin Headlands — a fleet week traipse around SF, a multi-day wedding party, coastal plants & scenery romp yielded enough photos i wound up having to cull my "backup" to make room for more shots; i haven't worked up a real editing workflow on the tablet, though i know there are some options
so in suggesting a netbook was considering the use case where a 500GB drive, plus a specialty hub embedding a battery, was in consideration; i doubt the display on most netbooks is as nice as my mini, but the overall balance of functionality/storage/price/weight has an appeal; and except for size it seems to seriously outcompete the dedicated "photo storage" devices
