Buying a new netbook, can't decide which one.

[EarthwormJim]

I can't decide which netbook I should get.

I've narrowed it down to 4 models.

Lenovo S10E - Atom Processor, 512mb ram, 80gb hard drive, 10" screen, 3 cell battery

$289


Asus EEE PC 1000HD - Celeron M (900mhz), 1gb ram, 120gb hard drive, 10" screen, 3 cell battery

$275

Acer Aspire One - Atom Processor, 1gb ram, 160gb hard drive, 8.9" screen, 3 cell battery

$299

Acer Aspire One - Atom Processor, 1gb ram, 16gb flash drive (two 8gb drives), 3 cell battery

$279.99


I obviously like the price more on the Asus, but from what I've read the Celeron M is slower than an Atom at 1.6ghz and uses more power.

The Lenovo seems nice, but it has less ram than all the other netbooks I've looked at.

Hard drive size really doesn't matter to me, just enough for a Windows installation and a few programs is all I need.

The 2nd Acer has a flash drive, which makes more sense to me in a netbook, but I dislike it having two drives rather than one.

What would you guys pick? Are there any better options than the ones I have listed, for under $300?

The Lenovos supposely run cooler... though still warm.

You have to figure out where your priorities are.

Size
Screen Size
Weight
Battery Life
CPU/graphics performance
Keyboard
Trackpad
Extra features
Price

These are the factors that I would consider when buying a netbook.

The Acer only has one SSD, not two.
