My wife is after a Netbook to cart around with her and after some looking round there are couple of contenders that stand out to me.


The first is the Gateway LT3105/LT3106 here:

Athlon 64 is quite a bit faster than the Atom, decentish battery life (5 hours), light (1.2kg).  But also has no 3G, and no 802.11n


The other contender is the HP 5101:

Unfortunately I cannot find one with a 6 cell battery (9 hour), they all come with 4 cell (3.5-4 hour).  And integrated 3G seems to add quite a bit to the price for something which will only be used if we go away for weekends.


I might be overlooking something.  For what it's worth she's vetoed the Asus EeePCs as being 'ugly' and complaining about their trackpads.  Otherwise they're certainly specced the best for the money.
