Colin,
If you're looking for a good Netbook size machine, Have a look at the HP Pavilion dm-1.
I got one (dm-1 4018au) a couple of weeks ago for $370 at JB and I love it.
Has 3x USB 2.0 ports, 1x HDMI out, 1x VGA out, Bluetooth + WiFi, Beats Audio(sounds surprisingly good for it's size).
They have a 11.6" screen where the larger Eeepc's have 12.1" but I couldn't notice the difference.
The dm-1's CPU(APU) is an AMD E-450(2Core 1.65GHz) with Radeon HD6320 gfx, plays HD video's fine.
It is better than the Atom based stuff, tho it sacrifices some of the battery life.
The 12" Eee's claim 8-12 hours battery. With the dm-1 I get between 6-8 hours battery life depending on what I'm doing.
It also comes with 64bit Windows 7 Home Premium(SP1) instead of the dodgy Windows Starter that all the other netbooks size machines come with.
The screen(11.6") is waaay better (I compared side-by-side with all the Eee's in store) and the keyboard is so nice(and silent!) I almost forget I'm typing on a 12" netbook.
Unlike the new Eee's, the dm-1's RAM can be user-upgraded, it comes with 2GB but you can upgrade to 2x 4GB SODIMM's for 8GB total.
Windows Experience scores: (yes I know WE isn't great... but it is atleast easy to compare)
Overall: 3.9
Processor: 3.9
RAM: 5.5
2D Graphics: 4.6
3D Graphics: 5.9(!)
Hard Disk: 5.9
CPU benchmarks: (Passmark)
Pentium M 1.6: 406 (used in the Acer 3200 above)
Atom N570 1.66: 639 (old Eee's)
Atom N2600 1.6: 590 (current budget Eee's)
Atom N2800 1.83: 723 (current Eee's)
E-450 1.65: 742 (HP dm-1)
For the $370 (i got them down from $398) I couldn't have got better.
Edit:
On sale at
