As a suggestion ---- I own several desktop pcs, multiple laptops and a couple of netbooks. The thing you need to check is the screen resolution on the netbooks and compare to the minimum requirements on AC website - there are some workarounds noted on the boards here, but some of these would not work doing housecalls. I think that I would go crazy trying to use the netbook keyboards for real notes - not made for adult hands long term. You can go online to any number of decent sites and find laptops for under $400. I looked at tigerdirect.com and found reasonable refurbs for under $300. I would carry a little heavier laptop to get the better use.
I carry mine on vacation, to the nursing home and a variety of other places with good luck.
