More to add

[Gow]

Dell has one slated for release as well. Uses the Atom Processor and should be released sometime in Quarter 4 of this year.

[bobbyeggo]

I would go with the Acer or the Dell that's coming out.

[runtohell121]

oops.. forgot the Dell Inspiron 910 lolz soz going to add now.. keke.. Dell is said to release on Friday, August 22, 2008 right now.

[SilentWalrus]

Personally I like machines that can run Zuneboards with ease.

[runtohell121]

lol those netbooks can surf the web pretty good.. and good size for traveling

[Netrix]

All of these laptops are pretty low-quality.

[runtohell121]

meh, I can't say all of them are low quality for the price point.
from what i have read, MSI Wind, Acer Aspire One and Asus EEE 1000h is the best out of all of the netbooks so far because of their built quality.

For the price, they are all right. I was comparing them to the laptop market as a whole.

[133794m3r]

Personally RTH from experience I wouldn't get an Acer unless you believe that you'll never have anything go wrong with it ever. But the other laptops are great for the price.

well yea, if you compared them to regular laptop then yes quality isn't as good as the regular full size laptops.

uhh.. i owned an Acer once.. lasted me long.. but sold it since i was getting a new laptop lol

[133794m3r]

Well I was talking about the customer support it's a bitch to get anything done.... but they do hold up pretty well... I just also think that they're a little to ugly....

i see what you mean and how you feel lol.. i was on customer with ATT.. they put me on hold for like 2 hours... lol..

back on topic..
i wonder which netbook(s) would you choose between those.

My options are: 1) MSI Wind 2) Lenovo S10 3) Acer Aspire one 120gb version

edit: where to buy is added on first post easier for people to look for spec and price there hope that helps

[133794m3r]

I looked at the Lenova and the MSI, they are my favorites. Personally i'm leaning more towards the Lenova.

[Vettexl]

I would not recommend Acer, as do many people I know. Acer has very bad warranties, and sub-standard technology. That HP 2133 Mini-Note PC looks pretty interesting, though.

[runtohell121]

lol Acer Aspire One quality from most people on other forum say it is pretty good besides the 120gb version having its fan on max always.. because of the driver problem at this moment. I might get the Acer Aspire One 1gb, 120gb hd version at BestBuy on Sunday because it has a price drop on it also to lower the netbook market. the new price of aspire ones will be around $330-$350
