Solution
From my reading, programmers usually think a big screen and a good keyboard is most important.

For CPUs, Intel's i series is the fastest, AMD's ddr3 chips and Intel's c2d are similar in performance.

If you don't plan to game, and don't care about battery life, then buy whatever's cheaper. Visual Studio 2010 can run perfectly fine on a netbook.
