I'm looking at netbooks and I really don't know what's good and what's not.

From what I've seen:
The Atom N270 processor is garbage
The Atom N280 processor is decent
The Atom Z-series processor is good

Am I right?

What am I looking for in a decent but affordable netbook in terms of a processor?

What I'm planning on doing with it is mainly word processing for school (Open Office or Microsoft Office) surfing the web, uploading pictures and videos.

For anything more serious (such as photo editing) I have my laptop.

I'm leaning towards Toshiba for the simple fact that I've been using my Toshiba laptop for about 3 yrs usually 5-10 hrs a day and it's still working flawlessly, but open to ANY and all suggestions and ideas.

Thanks,
T.
