Anyone wanna help me pick a netbook?
This is just gonna be a secondary computer for when I need it on the go, so I'm not looking to spend a lot. My budget is in the $250ish range.
Here's what I've been considering so far: Gateway LT2032u LU.WCR0D.005 Netbook - Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz, 1GB DDR2, 250GB HDD, 10.1 WSVGA, Windows 7 Starter, Black at TigerDirect.com Samsung NP-N130-JA01US Refurbished Netbook - Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz, 1GB DDR2, 160GB HDD, 10.1 WSVGA, Windows 7 Starter at TigerDirect.com Hannspree HannsBook SN10E22BU3221 Netbook - Intel Atom N450 1.66GHz, 1GB DDR2, 250GB HDD, 10 WSVGA, 6-Cell, Windows 7 Starter, Black at TigerDirect.com
So far, I'm leaning towards the Hannspree. What do you guys think? If you have any recommendations, post 'em! Thanks! | My System Specs |

The best netbooks I've seen are Eee PCs. My brother and a good friend both have one and their really nice. Neither have had a problem.

What's the main difference between those and the Hannspree? Both seem to have the newer N450 processor and most, if not all, specs match up. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom Built

Thanks.  I'm just trying to make the most well informed decision I can.
@Reilly: The most I've seen is 2GB. But then again, you won't need as much RAM for a Netbook compared to a full Tower. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom Built
