I'm thinking of getting my wife a netbook. What would you recommend?

And why would you recommend it?

I’ve done some research already, but I’d especially like to hear the experiences of people who actually own them.

She is going back to school and would primarily be using it for her college classes (using the internet, taking notes, writing papers, etc.). She’d like something that she could type comfortably on. It would be nice if she could watch hulu or movies on it (streamed).

She is familiar with both linux and windows.
