Recommendations on netbook

[Thalberg]

Well, I'm getting into the serious stuff at school, and I want to buy myself a nice little netbook to ease the process. Including the money I got at Christmas, I've got around $1500 to spend on whatever I want. I don't want to splash too much cash out on a full laptop, hence the netbook (The rest I'll be spending on my car). Up to around $400 aud is good, although a smidgen over is fine.

So far I've been recommended this product.

For any recommendations you feel like posting, please keep them very low cost, and preferably from somewhere IN Australia. Although if you're just suggesting a product name, I can probably find it here somewhere.

If you want to pay $100 more, get this. It has an nVidia IGP, better than Intel's.

That one's alright, only got a 16gb harddrive though which will fill up very quickly, although if it's just for school you'll just be word documenting and the like?

check out that though, less than $400 AUD, better processing power than that one and much bigger hardrive, same ram, same size.

Yeah, I thought 16gb was abit small too. But my friend insisted that because it was SSD (Solid state drive?), it was better.

From the selection, I'm tempted towards the Eee Pc the most so far. I can get it off ebay (au) for $439.99, with windows 7.

Alright. I've decided to go with the Eee pc that miga posted. I'll probably buy it some time next week. If anyone has any last minute suggestions, feel free to pop in.
