i'm planning to get one. either an HP or a Lenovo.

I have one. Asus Eee PC 1000H the one with Windows XP.

I'm waiting for the Acer Aspire One Atom Duo on Nvidia 9400M chipset with:

1. Bluetooth 2.1 (for 3G Internet via cellular phone and Wireless audio stream via A2DP)
2. WiFi-N
3. 3G HSDPA Module (the first edition of One was supposed to have this as a standard but production issues plagued it).

Hopefully, they configure it with WiMax too. My budget allocation limit for something like this is 15k. Any more expensive than that and it won't be worth the money anymore.

I need a notebook like this for my out of town trips to the unknown (where, when worse comes to worst, i can leave everything and bail out). hehe.

Jozef: Ganda sana ng Sony P-series kaso US$ 899. Pero siempre, knowing Sony, that's one heck of a netbook I am sure. Very nice resolution at 1600x768 but a disappointing choice of proc (Atom Solo).

I want to have the Viao SR but the resolution is just too disappointing for a Sony (1280x800). I want something like 1440x900 at least for a 13.3" widescreen or even 1680x1050 if it's not asking too much.

Bought this one also late last month:

HP Mini Note 1000

OS: MS Windows XP Home
CPU: Intel Atom 1.6ghz
RAM: 1gb (planning to upgrade)
HDD: 60gb PATA
Screen: 10.2" 1024 x 600
Webcam: 1.3mp
WiFi: 802.11b/g
USB Ports: 2
Bluetooth: Yes
Battery: 3 cell

This was my choice because it had arguably the best keyboard and best build quality of all the Atom netbooks out there.

Was pretty happy with the purchase... till last week HP announced the Atom version of the aluminum-bodied mini note (serialized as 2140).

I have this one. Anyone know how I can change the OS from Linpus to XP? I have an XP installer but I dunno how to load it using usb. Can someone give a walkthrough?
