Netbook

I'm looking to buy a Netbook, do you guys have any suggestions? I've look at the HP and the Dell... They seem OK but only offer 1gb of RAM.

The HP 2140 .. 2GB RAM, 10.1" screen and a 92% full size keyboard. I picked it out for my mom, a bit on the expensive side for a netbook but it's the only one that is even borderline acceptable imo. Overall quality is great. Nice clear screen and nice keys.

I bought the Dell Mini 9 that came with 1GB DDR2 RAM. I had an extra 2GB stick here and upgraded it myself. Too easy.

Why?

For a little bit more than the cost of a netbook you can get an ultra compact laptop that offers a lot more functionality.

After some research I think I've found the perfect one: Lenovo U350

Its not a netbook because I've tried to type on a netbook at staples and it seems almost impossible to me, way too small and inconvienent

How big of a screen?

My friend just got a Asus Eee PC 1000 (something like that).

10.1" screen, 9.5 hour battery life. He bought it for use at grad school.

I was fortunate enough to get the dell mini 9 when they came out, i dont require great functionality out of it because it for just cruising at coffee shops and vacation...but i love it and havent had any problems with it..its very convenient , it starts up fast and shuts down fast, light weight...alot of people ask me about it
