Field sales rep laptops

I'm looking for a good bang for buck netbook for one of our sales reps... any recommendations?

I recommend you give some requirements such as budget as the best bang for your buck (an unfortunate phrase to use when referring to something you don't want to go bang) might be the most expensive one.

For sales reps they tend to like smaller laptops, so the Dell E44x0's are a good choice. We give these to out sales team. I have an E6500 but they are too big, heavy and expensive for sales!

You say netbook though. Are you sure a netbook will be good enough? Maybe too small and too slow? They tend to be aimed at home users (home OS not business OS etc)

Essentially, all it will be used for is invoicing out products through our web portal. As long as it works with an Vodafone 3G dongle and has IE, it'll be ideal. I was thinking more along the long the lines of size and mobility when I considered the Net Books.
