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.

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.

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

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.

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
