I second everything said below, I just purchased the HP Minis for our
sales staff and the love them, yes the keyboards are small, but for on
the road use it is fine. As an everyday use machine, it may not be so
good. The machines I ordered had 160 GB Hard Drive, 2 GB RAM, no optical
drive. Also if it will be used a lot on battery, one must be sure to
understand proper charging, even these modern batteries can get messed
up if charged improperly.
Thank You

If you're interested in HD video playback. I like the new HP Mini 210
because you can get it with an HD screen as an upgrade, 1366x768. And
they offer the Broadcom HD accelerator PCI-E add-in. For general
computing, the 1366x768 screen is a must for me, and that size is not
common to find so much on the 10.1" models. The smaller screen with
only 600 lines of resolution are just not very usable for me
personally.
Outside of that, they are all just about the same. The keyboard layout
and comfort with the typing should be a top deciding factor. Make sure
you get something with a 4-6 cell battery (skip 3 cell IMO). And get
the new generation Atom processors , not the original ones. The newer
ones are more energy efficient, so better battery runtime.

This is waaaaaay off topic, but I am curious what everyone's opinion is
with regard to netbooks.
My wife wants one, and they all seem roughly similar between MSI, Acer,
Lenovo etc.
or are such a commodity item nowadays the point that it really doesn't
matter.
