If you want to be able to game on it too, I would suggest the Asus 1201nl, which has the Nvidia Ion graphics card.

hmm.. what brand of netbooks should I trust? I know there is no netbook specific brand, but the brands that have the higher quality netbooks

From what I've heard... Acer Netbooks have the best keyboard. I have tried many netbook keyboards out at the stores and I must agree.

I ended up purchasing an Acer netbook because I found it at TigerDirect for $200 (no tax and no shipping charges). Then I upgraded the RAM, bought a 9 cell 11 hour battery (for $50 on Amazon), then purchased a touchscreen kit for it on eBay ($70), finally I installed an internal Bluetooth device ($15).

I love my netbook... It plays DirectX 7 games very nicely such as Delta Force 1 & 2. I haven't tried any DirectX 8 games on it though.

If you have any Acer specific questions... I could give you my opinion them.

I've got an older version of this netbook here, I used it all the time until I got a better laptop. The only issue I had was the trackpad going out due to water damage, but they fixed it free of charge(was under warranty).
I've pulled off Team Fortress 2 on it, although I had a low-quality model pack on, and I had to use some questionable methods to disable particles(They caused crashes, and I basically had to write hacks for the game to disable them.)
