4 New Netbooks

[Guest]

Four new laptops have arrived: 2 flavors of Asus Eee PC 1005HA, plus a Toshiba NB200 and a Samsung N110. Each one is a strong machine. Which to buy?

That Toshiba looks pretty nice . . .

If you're on the fence about buying a new netbook - wait until next year. The Intel Pine Trail will use half the power of the existing solution - no fan required, lighter, longer battery life

I can't seem to find any info on the MSI Wind U115. Is it in production yet?

@ProDigit80: I have the MSI Wind U130 and that has the 9 cell battery. Check that one out.

Lacking the BlueTooth also means increased battery performance on the ASUS 1005HA Eee Pc.

I ran some benchmarks and give more detail about what you can expect performance wise from the ASUS 1005Ha netbook in this review: http://bit.ly/44CHFm

Quieter than my other 3 laptops.

Purchased this for my daughter to bring back and forth from school. It looks great (dare I say almost Apple-like as we have the white version).
Getting 6+ hours on battery which whomps both my HP laptops.
Not sure where your noise criticism comes from. This Asus is way quieter than either of my HPs or my 1 Dell laptop.
You should re-test another one to be sure.
And the glossy screen works just fine here. No complaints at all.

Anyone who purchases one of these for gaming, blue-ray watching or high quality 7.1 surround sound experience, is in the wrong category. Seems odd to throw into the review like that.
