7" netbook - that much worse to use than a 8.9" one?

[swbsam]

There are some great deals on 7" netbooks and I'm fighting between buying now, or saving for an 8.9 or 10" one. Keep in mind I just want to use it for writing screenplays (using a word processor like app), and will not watch movies or game (ha!) on it. I'd do the casual web browsing and the likes as well.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

IMHP yes. Worse than the screen size is the keyboard. Since your primary use is going to be writing do yourself a favor and get something with a nice keyboard like the HP mini or Asus 1000 series.

You want a 10".

7" netbooks have really low resolution screens. Too low resolution for any practical use (writing) imo.

Definitely go with a 10" netbook if you're planning on typing a lot.

Thanks guys,
Just ordered a 10" Msi Wind. It was a bit above my budget, but I think I would have regretted anything smaller.
