Here is another version for $399 basically same as above except (same resolution, chip set & processor) for: 6hr Batt; 160GB HDD, 1GB RAM; "WINXP" installed!.
Down side..."nil Stocks" ATM!
I'm seriously considering an 11.1" netbook...mainly for the screen resolution (focusing) & battery life. 
Edit:
Damn...forgot to mention that Myer have some netbooks for sale from $369 as well. See page 4 of the catalogue.
Damn....forgot the links...fixing right now! |
Watch out for the older 11" models on the Atom Z520/and 530 cpus from what I read they were slower than the N270 despite appearances.
The newer N450 based box is best for battery life and the 330/Ion if you want an 11" screen and HDMI - then I think your best (only?) option atm is Asus 1201n. In you want a bargain the n280s are dropping in price as the newer models come through eg Myer has the one of the eee 1001s for $349 atm...
