Be aware that the Mini Net Books are limited as to what you can use them and the operating system for. Good for surfing the Internet, e-mail and basic work. Buying a low end lap top you can do more than with a Net Book. All major brands are good, I prefer Toshiba lap tops.

If you've heard alot about them, you know not to buy one. You should consider dell mini, asus eeepc, hp mini and the toshiba. Dell mini is the current favorite of geeks that do hackintoshes. The asus eeepc T101MT has a "pine trail" chip and a multitouch tablet display. The samsung N150 and the dell mini will have the option of buying 4G "wimax" internet service. Dell, hp asus and toshiba are often used by techs to remote into our real computers. It might be a good idea to reexamine if you want a netbook. Remember, a netbook is an ACCESSORY to a real computer, NOT a replacement for one. If you buy a netbook, you will also need a "real" computer. Netbooks do NOT have pentium class processors, they do NOT have video cards, so you can't play games. They do not have dvd drives so you can't watch a movie unless you buy an external drive for 75 bucks. They have HORRIBLE keyboards that you can NOT touch type on. The screens are mini and you have to scroll right and left AND up and down on alot of webpages. Because of the size of the screen and it's low resolution, your eyes will get tired very fast. IF you are very high end user who is always on the run, netbooks are GREAT tools. If you are a "grandma user" just getting email and light surfing, it can be a great tool. If you have any expectations of real computing with it, you will be VERY disappointed. If you still want a netbook, go to hp outlet or dell outlet. There are TONS there that people have returned because they thought they could do what a laptop can do and you can get a "refurbished model" that is probably in perfect condition for alot less. EDIT: I agree with "bassman", For 410, you can get an entry level laptop. DO NOT get the acer. If you’ve heard alot about them, you know not to buy one.
