I have a question. Granted that the specs are the same, what would you consider as the overall best brand among the netbooks in the market today?

 

Asus eeePc started the netbook trend, so they are pretty good. But honestly Asus, HP, Lenova, Samsung, Toshiba are all pretty good. MSI is decent as well, but probably hard to find support if you have problem. I'd stay away from Dell. I would go for Asus for functionality and HP for support. I wouldn't care too much about brands as long as they are backed by one of the larger company, I'd just pick the one with best spec/price ratio and with the look you want.

at the other end of price range, viliv s70 and viliv s7 have great reviews. nakakabilib!

i've been to cosmotech (viliv's official distributor) yesterday to take a quick glance at their x70. a day before i requested them to install photoshop as part of their demo and it was a delight toying its stylus, sketching on top of sample photos. at 6.6 pounds (5.5 hours battery time, lighter weight for 3 hours battery), this umpc (ultra mobile pc) is a bit heavy for the left hand to hold for more than 30 minutes. i like its gps, sirf star is really unbeatable. the thing i dislike is that the center bottom heats up my left hand's fingers. also, it's running in windows xp. i have no gripes against xp 'cause it's a very stable os. but why not the latest os? the demo lady is unsure if there'll be software problems if it runs in win7. its small size (7" screen) is impressive to flaunt around except for its weight. texts can be read without squinting. typing is done by summoning the onscreen keyboard with a button. two-thumb typing is ok, as least for my thumbs. but it's easier to peck with stylus because i found it hard to type while the stylus is pinched between my thumb and forefinger. screen brightness is adjustable and the screen is still readable even at steep angles (contradicting reviews in the net). however, the price set me back, 46,000 less 10% if paid in cash. my practical conscience told me to stay on the safe side of this universe: i was raised to equate smallness with lower price. so i held back and told jenah (the demo girl) that i'll think about it for a week before making a decision. while leaving the parking lot i already made my decision: it'll be one hell of a toy all right, but it's too damn expensive for a toy!

 

ups: small size (hey, it's a umpc), buttons at the right places

downs: heat is above normal compared to netbooks, almost as heavy as notebooks, price must be improved

I got this great MSI U230 netbook: http://www.testfreaks.com/blog/review/review-of-msi-wind12-u230-netbook/

 

had my u230 about 2mos. ago and sobrang solved, from the size of the screen, the proc, the vid card (although shared), the battery, the hdd size, very lightweight, panalong-panalo.

 

sobrang saya ko na eversince i got it eh puro pagpapaganda nalang ng u230 inatupag ko (hehe). Bought a reversible neopreene sleeves, Illustrazio Cyber Gear backpack, Sensonic winding mouse, japeyks razer mantis mousepad/comic alley FMA mousepad and last night got it skinned by sir chuck ng Decal Republic. SWEET!!

i recently bought a lenovo s10 for 15000 as my secondary laptop

 

so far it is working amazingly for my internet needs, plus i can easily bring it anywhere being small and lghtweight

 

i recently got an acer aspire one, roughly 13,000 in phil peso, i haven't used it much, but with the small time i tried it, parang mas okay yung lenovo s10 ko
