    The latest issue of Consumer Reports covers laptops. May be worth a trip to the bookstore.

    I have that same netbook. I did a lot of research and found the wind to be the best for my needs.

    What's good about the Wind over other netbooks is one-button overclocking. All I have to do is press Function + F10, and my computer will jump up to 2GHZ... its part of the feature set so you won't be violating any warranty, etc.

    i have the Acer netbook, not sure which model, but it has

    Win XP SP3
    160 gig HD
    1 gig memory
    8.9 inch screen
    6 cell battery last up to 6 hours

    bought it for $330 back in feb saw it now for $279

    great device have no complaints, its a great secondary computer if you are primairly use your desktop. watch movies/tv shows just fine have had no issues

    would highly reccommend to anybody who just needs a secondary machine for internet browsing (with flash) and email. I have a G1 so i kinda agree with IMF you have most of the same access from a PDA/smartphone, its just not the same browsing on a computer

    if you want to play World of Warcraft on it, just buy a laptop

    Love my thinkpad x61 tablet, very durable. I dropped it once while it was on. Nothing happened to it. Amazing.

    Stay away from HP. That's all I have to say.

    We are selling laptops.
    For communicating with people on the internet,
    You can chose the laptop which used Intel's processor Atom.Thus you can choose HP MINI2140.
    Also you can choose Asus N10 1000H or Accer AOD150-0BR.
    All these laptops are available in China.I'm not sure you can get them in USA or not.

    And you can visit my website : www.shanghaifx.com.cn
    You may not be able to read chinese, but you can get the picture.

    If you need any information about laptops, you can add my msn: owen.tang@hotmail.com
