Laptop replacment something smaller?

My laptop broke a few months ago and I need a replacement.
Literally all I use it for is browsing the web in bed/lounge and using it for some basic Open Office files(not much typing just viewing). The laptop got very hot and was to large and heay for just browsing. So I was thinking about getting a tablet pc 12" or maybe something like the asus eeeeeee..

What would you guys suggest?

EeePc, Sammy NC10 or Lenovo S10.. either one you cant fail.

..then it all comes down to looks and branding. Thats your preference

Just mentioned this in another thread but I swear by my Toshiba Satellite.
13.3" inch screen and solid as a rock and as far as laptops go this is the best keyboard I have used on one.

Can't fault it and when this one eventually dies I will stick to Toshibas....okay slightly more expensive that most of the laptops but once you have one you know why

Think it was in this years tests that Toshiba and SOny were top for laptop build quality and how long they last.

I would go with the Asus EeePc, I had a chance to play with one recently and they are great little things but still quite powerful. I have the EeeBox which is the EeePc in a box (Mobile Atom CPU) with no screen which I'm going to be using as a media center soon, I do have a PS3 but the EeeBox only uses a 6th of the power which I like. You won't be running Vista on it but who cares for a netbook, XP or Linux do the job fine.
