Since I think I know that you want the netflix on the external, many of the apps won't do that full screen and allow you to type along on the laptop. This is nothing new. That is, I might have to change browser or app to get this to work.
Why not toss the Roku on the external for Netflix and get a laptop for that?

I am looking to buy either a laptop or small to medium sized PC. I will just use it to write simple documents, surf the web and watch movies. So what I need is something that can handle a LOT of multi tasking and multiple videos open while still running smoothly and good enough graphics for your average netflix hd movie. I dont care so much about the actual screen on the laptop because i have an external monitor.
What type of specs should I be looking for? And any recommendations? My budget is $700 max
