^^^^^^^

Why not an EEE pc ? These are really good (for a net usage).

Hi,

Now that Acer has announced their AOA150-1447 model, which has XP, 1GB
RAM, 160GB hard drive, and a 6-cell battery standard, I'm thinking of
this myself. It was announced this past Friday, so I haven't been able
to find it anywhere yet, so I haven't actually used or seen one myself
yet, but I guess they should be out in a couple of weeks here in the U.S.

Retail price announced was $399 (USD).

The only thing else I would want is to have a factory-built model with
the full 1.5GB RAM, as it's apparently a bit painful to replace the
512MB stick that comes in a slot.

JMHO. I'll try to post back if I do get my hands on one :)...

Look at the MSI Wind; I'm running one with 2 gig RAM, 250 gig hard
drive, both are easy upgrades on this unit. LCD is larger than Asus or
Acer and very bright and non-glossy too. It comes with XP Home
standard, 1 gig RAM and an 80 gig hard drive. Should fit into your
budget too. I'm now running XP Home and Vista Ultimate in a dual boot
configuration with another 70 gig partition for data. Keyboard is
fine, originally came with Synaptics touchpad, but that seems to have
changed in recent models. A very nice unit and more capable than the
typical Linux based "netbook"
Good luck!
