many thanks, GH. been a while since I last posted here. will definitely look at these.

Just take note that each of the netbook I posted have different pros and cons.

EEE PC 1005 Seashell has very good battery endurance for average netbook specs with wifi-N spec. Stylish exterior for a netbook.

E-machine 250 is a bang for the buck netbook. Nothing extra ordinary.

Asus U135 or U160 have newer Atom processors and very stylish exterior. But performance is still rather not that much improved. Battery life, not that sure myself but supposedly better than older Atom N270 spec netbooks like the U100.

Personally, you can't go wrong with the EEE1005HA but each person has their own taste in style.

There is an electronics/gadgets sale today at the Auditorium of the Tektite Bldg in Ortigas. My wife brought a brochure home and I saw that Asus 1000HE and 1005HA (not sure about this model) sells for 15,000. I'd say these are really good deals. I got my 1000HE a few months back for 18K sa greenhills.

You might want to consider Apple iPad.

For a netbook, I noticed that those with AMD and ATI are way faster than Intels. I think there are intels with Nvidia 9400M so it should be better than the intel graphics (which is crap).

I wouldn't put too much demand on the newer Atom N450 chip as being "faster" than the older N270/N280 chips.

Benchmark:

N450 = 321
N270 = 305

The only advantage it would give is less power consumption and slightly faster graphics.

If you want a faster netbook, look beyond Intel Atom cpu powered netbooks.

You might want to consider Apple iPad.

the iPad is an expensive piece of eyecandy which needs another US$200 worth of accessories to make it even near to practical. Among these, the external keyboard and the iPad "stand".

The iPad is great for viewing media but poor if you have to do any sort of keyboard input or any "real" work like a spreadsheet or a document.

For a netbook, I noticed that those with AMD and ATI are way faster than Intels. I think there are intels with Nvidia 9400M so it should be better than the intel graphics (which is crap).

I suggest the MSi Wind12 U200/u210x/U230 netbooks as potential choices.
