Acer Aspire One AOD150-1165 10.1-Inch Netbook - Sapphire Blue
From Acer

It's a netbook - so comparing it to a regular laptop is not helpful. The screen is smaller. The keyboard is smaller so touch typing is not really possible. But it does what it's supposed to do, be small and cheap and usable. My one caveat is that it's not as light as advertised. With the 6 cell battery, the battery sticks out of the back and it's a bit heavy. Also, I don't like the touchpad buttons. Instead of a discrete left and right click button, it's a single button that will have the desired functionality based on which side you press it. I think it's lame - should be two buttons, but that's a minor gripe. Overall - a very good netbook.

ASUS Eee PC 1000HE

ASUS Eee PC 1000HE 10-Inch Netbook (1.66 GHz Intel Atom N280 Processor, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, 10 GB Eee Storage, Bluetooth, XP Home, 9.5 Hour Battery Life) Black

I am very pleased with my cool computer, only one thing that I have found is that it sometimes takes a while to open different programs, it seems that it has a hard time mutlitasking. The battery life is amazing, I was on a plane recently and loved the fact that I could watch movies from my external hard drive without the fear of the battery running out. It is also handy when you have a long layover at some airport where there is nothing to do. As for the appearence it is a really good looking Netbook only down fall is the constant fingerfrints, so I am going to get a skin for it too. All in all I am glad I bought this little gem.
