It was the best investment I’ve ever made for him!! Was totally worth it and I would recommend it to anyone who needs a small computer.

MSI U230-033US 12.1-Inch Netbook - 4 Hour Battery Life Review

I’d never heard of MSi - before browsing online for a laptop a couple months ago, but must say I am very impressed with the quality of this little laptop! It’s nicer than the 00 Dell I use at the office.

Toshiba Mini NB305-N410BL 10.1-Inch Royal Blue Netbook - 11 Hours of Battery Life Review

I’m very happy with this notebook. Excellent screen, very comfortable to type. Battery life is excellent. Had to remove few trial programs and it took me 15 minutes to clean it up.
I also had download an updated driver for the speakers as under existing driver the sound is very very low. Surprisingly, Toshiba does not have an updated driver listed on their website, so I had to get it from Realtek website. Once I did that, the sound improved significantly and I keep it in 60-70% level now. There is a topic on Toshiba board that discusses about this issue and solution in details. Fix does work. (at least in my case).
In regards to vibration issue, I also did get the notification that my hard drive was moved to safe location, but other than that, it did not affect the performance of the netbook. I just checked off this notification to not to see in the future.
I bought this notebook mostly for internet, Skype and movies. And once i solved the sound issue, everything work really good. No problem with Skype and playing different format movies. (I did install VLC player that plays everything without any issues).
This notebook does get hot, but I think this is the issue with most of the notebooks.
I also ordered 2GB RAM, but not because it’s needed, just to have it

Samsung N130-13P 10.1-Inch Pink Netbook - Up to 6.2 Hours of Battery Life Review

I bought this for my nieces who are 7 and 9 and they love it. Of course the pink color helps. They even had fun setting it up, giving it a name (Lilly) etc.
The internet works well and is easy to set up. Programs can be added by downloading or transfering the install files to a usb flash drive. It is lightweight and has a good battery life. There is a program to adapt screen resolution for programs that need it. Webkinz didnt work initially but then we found a link to an adapted version and it works great! The kids were just searching the web the other day for a paper on MLK. It is so portable they use it in the kitchen at home (under supervision while mom and dad are cooking) or they bring it to grandma’s house. It is quiet and the underside only gets a little warm. Overall a fantastic purchase for under [...] bucks. The only criticism I have is that the Samsung website is a little light on support and we couldn’t figure out how to activate the one year free of microsoft office. I set up a free message board on quicktopic so we can keep in touch easily as well as a private family video account on you tube so they can watch baby videos and other events we have filmed over the years.

Acer Aspire One AOA110-1995 8.9-Inch Seashell White Netbook - 2.5 Hour Battery Life Review

ok, this is a fine netbook. The typical netbook spec (1.6 atom cpu, integrated graphics, 1gb ram…),
which is same as most more expensive netbooks (with large sata hard drives).
runs most streaming videos flawlessly, (hulu, HQ on youtube, though not HD…)
and even 720p HD videos (not streaming 720p, due to software limitations by flash).

HP Mini 311-1000NR 11.6-Inch Black Netbook - Up to 6.25 Hours of Battery Life Review

Purchased the HP Mini311 through Verizon Wireless as part of a broadband (3G) data package. The unit came with 2gigs of memory; a 160gb hard disk, and Windows7 Home Premium. I added a usb wireless mouse, a Microsoft 6000 bluetooth mobile keyboard, ZAGG usb external speakers and an HP external DVD drive. Total outlay of less than 0. (Of course, I pay per month for 3G service but I have to connect to the internet when traveling even when I don’t have access to wifi so that was a necessity.)

Sometimes experience the most modern laptops battery problems a few months after the purchase. It could be because of the irresponsible use. Fortunately, new brand laptop brands offer warranties for defective batteries within a specified period. However, it is still necessary to exert extra effort life, laptop battery care to extend our laptop. It's quite simple once we get into the right habits.

Below are some useful tips on howto extend the life of laptop battery:

1st Perform regular defragmentation. The "health" of the battery depends in part on the efficiency of the disk. Defragging increases the efficiency of your PC.

Dell Inspiron Mini 1011 10.1-Inch Obsidian Black Netbook - Up to 8 Hours 8 Minutes of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter) Review

I bought it after 3 months of research, I wasn’t to sure about it but I decided I was going for it after reading some pretty good stuff about it. For now, I love it! It’s very good. It’s size fit perfectly to my life for I can carry it anywhere! My older sister is even jealous because my battery stays longer than her laptop .. I use the wireless to go on facebook, tchek my email, go on msn.. The only thing is that it’s kind of slow when I want to watch a movie or go on youtube.. I have to put down the volume, wait hours before I could watch it without disruption. But it’s not it fault, it’s the wireless. I recommend it to everyone that needs something lighter and cheaper than a laptop! It might not fit everyone’s style, so If you are not satisfy don’t blame the notebook!
