The last MSI has a 9cell battery, That should give you longer run time if you use the battery a lot. The one previous to that has the smallest battery, so I'd eliminate that unless you don't use battery much.

Other than that the laptops are exactly the same eh? Just different brands.

Got a link?

I say go for the ASUS 1005HA. I don't like the MSI Wind design that much. Haven't seen the new 10" designs though...

Oh, and I've seen some dual core netbooks coming out. Have you considered those?

I have an Eee900, and I'm pretty happy with it. They're all about the same. The best way is to try them hands on so you can get a feel for the keyboard and all.

Forget the Lenovo S10 - yesterday's news. Look at the new S12.

S12

S12

Same specs as the S10 but more $$$?

Not at all. The big difference is a 12.1-in screen vs. 10.1 screen. That means a slightly larger keyboard. Also a choice of CPUs. IMHO worth $90 more.

Man i tried out one of those HP ones at bestbuy, ah there so tiny my fingers have a hard time on the touch pad.

Do not get this notebook at any cost: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/ol...oduct&id=1218069452351

Depends on what you're looking for. I love the 9" screen, and absolutely wouldn't go over 10" for a netbook. Small screens=small keyboards, it's a worthwhile trade off for me.
