Well I'm not an authority on netbooks, although we have many laptops in our household, but we purchased our 1st netbook the other day...great price for features.

We purchased an Acer Aspire One for $378 (from mln). It has a cash back promo ATM (ends 30th Apr) of $79 which brings it to $299. Which is indeed cheap!

Specs:

Processor:Intel Atom Z520 (1.33GHz)Screen:11.6inch HD LED DisplayMemory:1GB DDR2 RAMStorage:160GB HDDCategory:Business, UltraportableConnectivity:10/100 ethernet, WiFi b/g, BluetoothBuilt in Devices:WebCam, 3 x USB portsOperating System:Microsoft Windows XP HomeWarranty:12 months manufacturer's
Best feature is the 11.6inch screen & it's 1366 x 768 resolution. Battery life is great, very portable. Although... I'm not a great fan of Acer computers...but at this price & features..I am!
