I basically just want one for browsing the internet, but I also want to be able to play some older games. Namely Starcraft And Diablo 1 and 2. The most graphically demanding game I could see myself trying to play, is World of Warcraft. But mostly games like Starcraft, Warhammer 40k and stuff like that is what I'm looking to play. Something small would be cool, and something inexpensive. I don't want it at all for playing new games. Just older ones. Could netbooks be an option? Help me out.

Some advice.... don't get a big laptop. I reccomend a 12.1" or 13.3". Don't go for performance, go for portability and battery life. It took me 3 laptops to figure this out...
