Help me choose my netbook.

[lavendar86]

Hey guys, I'm thinking of buying a netbook for studying, taking notes and some other simple task that I don't want to do on my desktop. I don't want to spend a lot on a laptop so a netbook sounds like the perfect choice. What do you guys recommend? I got it narrowed down to the degee 10.2 inch netbook or the ASUS Eee with XP being my OS of choice. I'm finding it difficult to choose one over the other. Help!

I have an HP Mini that I love. I dumped XP for 7 and upgraded the RAM to 2 gigs. I also removed the restore partition since I upgraded and the restore was for XP. I am able to run most software other than games, but have to be careful because of the limited resolution, so some vector and drawing programs won't open. I have also used a Dell and Asus also. What I discovered is the run pretty much the same after removing the bloatware that comes on them.
