Netbook Computer For Soaring

I am thinking about buying a Net Book Computer with 10 1/2 inch screen
for use in soaring. In addition to internet access, I would want to
run Seeyou, LXE, Cambridge (dos),and Dr Jacks forecasts. Has anyone
used a Net book for these items and were there any problems? If you
add a USB to serial adapter, did it comunuicate easily with the GPS/
NAV (Cambridge)? I fly with the Cambridge GPS/NAV and a LX 7007.
Need to load turnpoints with serial port to GPS/NAV and be able to
download flights from GPS/Nav via serial port. The comuincation with
LX 7007 is via SD Chip or serial port through the LXE software. What
make and model Netbok do you recommend?
