Last December I purchased an Acer netbook. A netbook is basically a 2 pound laptop that is a little weak on processing power and lacks an internal DVD drive. They are great for browsing the web with your wireless access. Some models have, or will soon have, 3G or other cell phone type internet access built in.
Using a computer at Court is difficult in that it increases the sheer weight of what you have to carry around. I find that the netbook is a great tool to use as a reader and internet browser. Legal software is typically undemanding and can easily be installed if you get a netbook with a hard drive instead of the quieter and smaller solid state drives which work like flash drives except that they are faster.
Whether you want to type, display something, use your calendar, do child support calculation or just about any law office computing, the netbook has sufficient power for an attorney's needs and is far lighter than a laptop.
