    Moved to Laptops.

    In my opinion that would be a great age to get into programming. Some kids of around that age are excellent coders. :)

    I'd say a netbook is too small for any coding.

    What kind of price range are you considering?
    Personally, I wouldnt go below a 14 -15" screen for coding.
    You could try the semi-ultrabok Asus k56ca in argos if you wanted something relatively small but with a decent processor and screen size?
