I am a diehard Apple geek and pretty much everything in my house has an Apple logo on it, but I am currently in the market for a cheap, small netbook. I know nothing about quality of brands or anything like that since all I know is Apple. My requirements would be decent graphics (doesn't have to be top of the line, but I don't want it sluggish either), iPod Touch/iTunes compatible (I'm hoping iTunes new computer sharing ability isn't going to be a nightmare with Apple vs. PC) (also obviously since I need it to be iPod compatible, I need it to have at least one USB drive), a decent processor (again, doesn't have to be top of the line, just not sluggish), DVD drive and a bonus would be a built-in web cam/camera like my MacBook Pro (not a requirement though). I'd like it to be no more than a 13" screen; 10" screen would probably be ideal, but I might be willing to spend an extra few bucks for the 13" if it's a good deal/product. I'm looking to spend the least amount of money possible and get the most for my buck (oh, in a perfect world LOL), basically. I would be so grateful for some suggestions, please. :)

I'm not sure you'll find a netbook with a DVD drive. Part of what makes a netbook a netbook is the portability and that means small and light. I bought mine in July and I don't think I saw any with a DVD drive. You can buy a stand-alone DVD drive to connect to it. They're really made to go with a desktop or laptop, not replace it.

I have different requirements, but this is what I have and I'm happy with it. http://www.amazon.com/Toshiba-NB205-N210-10-1-Inch-Black-Netbook/dp/B002BDUAEK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1258431490&sr=8-1

I got this HP one and so far really like it. No CD as PP said.
