I believe your prayers will be answered during the PC Fair. Netbook buyers will be spoilt choice with new players - Toshiba, Lenovo and Dell - joining the bandwagon. And of course, HP's newly launched Mini 1000 will steal the thunder in mid December.

And perhaps even more choices during PC Fair 1 2009 with the roll-out of the next-generation netbooks. Your guess is as good as mine. An entry-level netbook may be cheaper than a mainstream PDA phone. As it is, consumers in developed nations are already puzzled why Malaysians fork out more than RM1,500 for a mobile phone and over RM3,000 for an iPhone.

Interestingly, Tesco is offering Asus 904HD for only RM1,199. And you can enjoy cash rebate with the StanChart Saadiq debit card or the Hong Leong Bank credit card.

The only minus point is that 1002HA does not come with a 6-cell batt. I think it's 4 cells.

Spec wise, both are about the same. The S10, however, looks sleeker and comes with ASEAN/China warranty for two years. The 6-cell batt offering for Lenovo makes it a more compelling one over the perceived netbook champion.

I would suggest that you consider a 10-inch screen for an optimum experience on the Net. No regret - I can assure you. You won't go wrong either with 1000H or the Lenovo S10, both with six-cell batteries.
