I am so not interested in netbook right not because I have got my lovely Aspire One, which I bought it last year when it first release. Buying a netbook right now is a headache because there’s so many brands are offering it, it’s not like last time when netbook, the word first came to us, it’s only Asus and Acer. Later then company compete to release their netbook and this competition sucks because everyone offers almost the same thing.

I thought Dell Mini 9 has discontinued? If you are looking for Dell, Dell Mini 12 is good, but the battery life not so good.

These are the new Lenovo S10 2.

Touch screen Asus EEE PC which doesn’t fancy me. I don’t like touch tablet unless the screen is very sensitive.

The one on the far right seems good.

Have to say sorry because I didn’t really hands-on and test drive all the netbook around, I just went around, look and take photos. Anyway, I got some guide for you for choosing netbook, do take note about these:

  • Battery life (at least 6 hours)
  • HDD Capacity (at least 120GB)
  • RAM (at least 1.5GB)
  • Screen size (at least 10.1 inch)
  • Weight (less than 1.2kg)
  • Preferably with 3G slot built in even if you don’t have 3G data, you may have one in the future.
  • Bluetooth and card reader.

After looking around, Acer and Lenovo seem to have some nice model.
