I wonder which is the ''best'' notebook to use for diveplanning software. I only wish to use it for that.

if its only for dive planning, theres various dive planners out there supporting smartphones (iphone/android even java based).

You might want to google vplanner, ideco, jplanner.

I have a samsung n110 I use only for diving related stuff but any netbook will do the job although you should get windows xp or windows 7 and not windows 7 starter. i suggest you get one with 3G option or with bluetooth so you can connect to 3g though your phone.

my n110 gives ~7 hours battery life and runs suunto dive planner (similar profiles to my vr3), vplanner, tideplotter etc and gets me internet in most places.

how about using a smart phone?
V-planners works with loads of different types.

Agree with dwhitlow on this one, any netbook will do the job, I'm running a Toshiba NB305 and it's more than man enough for it, plus most of my music collection and a movie or two. 11 hours on the battery means it's good for a weekend away and no charging. Windows 7 is a bit naff, but unless you are going to push it lots it will be fine
