Top netbook brand?

My gut tells me to go with Asus, but I can't help but wonder how MSI, Samsung, Acer, etc... compare.

Who do other people consider to be the best netbook maker?

Acer sells netbooks more than anyone else but Asus does make good stuff. Lenovo,Toshiba also very good.

Re: Top netbook brand?

For netbooks, The Acer Aspire One should rank the first. it's small enough, but it's packed with powerful features. With a 1GB RAM and large hard drive space, it can actually work like a horse, allowing you to do more email, web surfing and word processing, etc. The Lenovo IdeaPad S10 is also a strong contender in the netbook category, compact and thinner than its competitors. HP makes good ones too. But I would go with the ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005HA-PU1X-BK Crystal Black. Battery life is all that matters to me"D

ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005HA-PU1X-BK Crystal Black Intel Atom N280(1.66GHz) 10.1" WSVGA 1GB Memory 160GB HDD Netbook - Retail $359.99 Up to 10.5 hours battery life & Seashell design
