Nearly all the netbooks can obtained here. Only the obscure names you can't like Everex Cloudbook. Acer, Dell, ASUS, Lenovo, HP,etc. are available here.

trying to keep the list from being cluttered up blush.gif but once netbooks variations start increasing, we might see the need for a whole new section for them smile.gif

i think vostro 1310 can fitted into your 13 inch laptops for those who are using the laptops for assignments or project use.
what do you think??
*
the vostro is alright when it's outfitted with basic specs. But when you start upping the numbers, it's price comes close to the XPS 1330 (or even exceeds it, depending on what you choose to put inside). The vostro's build quality also comes across as being abit flimsy and plasticky sad.gif .

what do you all have to say about the macbook13'? is it value for money? or are there other computers with almost the same or better specs around the same price.
i feel that it's a bit overpriced.

what do you think of the compaq cq40? i think for a small budget it represents the best value.. or are there better ones around within that price range?

and btw, i too agree that netbooks should be separated. as stated above, there are already several variants offered here by different manufacturers. IMO at least..

there's the Acer 4530 at almost the same price. Depends on what you use it for. spec differences are minor , the acer comes with bluetooth while the cq40 does not. but the acer has a slightly lousier graphic card.

hmmm ... many requests for netbooks eh? expect a small small section to come up soon then brows.gif

this would probably help you. just search for the model of the graphic card and see it's ranking tongue.gif

the HDx16t has a better build quality than the already solid dv5t smile.gif think of the HDx16t as the big brother, better proc, higher screen reso and nicer design imho. dv5t has the advantage of a higher capacity batt however. Hard to comment on the price since it depends on your own config, but the HDx16t is usally more expensive.

The Benq S42 is in a different league, it's definitely better but it's definitely not for budget users. It's in the RM3500+ range.
CQ40-133AX is RM2099, CQ40-125AX is RM1999.
