I am looking for buying a laptop or netbook.
It depends on what you intend to run on it. If you are going to do a
lot of browsing and minimal office work, or if you want good
portability, then get a netbook. If you are going to be running
resource intensive apps, if you are going to be watching movies,
playing games, if you need storage space, if you don't mind carrying
something around 3kgs or so in your back pack, go for a laptop.
My recommendations: Dell, Acer, Toshiba, Lenovo.
DO NOT buy: HP, Compaq, Samsung, HCL. (my experiences)
Sony is unnecessarily expensive. So I wouldn't buy it.
If you have reading problems or if your eye isn't healthy, go for a
laptop. Also ask for something that comes with free DOS or Linux by
default. Laptops heat up. Netbooks don't heat up as much. If there are
unusually high numbers of heat vents, you don't want to by that (my
observation). If you are buying dell, buy extended warranty (trust
me).
Buy VT enabled stuff that runs hardware assisted hypervisors better.
Make sure you don't buy a glorified tablet if you're buying a Netbook.
