programming on a netbook

I've been teaching myself python on my old macbook pro for a while now, and I'll be heading off to college soon.  Assuming I'll be majoring in computer science, which laptop would fit all of my basic programming needs?  I kind of have a fetish for netbooks, and I've wanted an Eee 1000 for so long now, but I don't know if I could handle the keyboard and screen, and if the netbook could handle some of the more complex coding I may be doing.   What would you guys recommend for lasting me through college?

Complex or simple doesn't matter with netbooks like the eee. The thing that matters is the duration of time you intend to work with them.
