Here goes another choice for you who want to buy a netbook, the IdeaPad S9e from China-based company Lenovo. Like most others mini laptop, this compact 8.9-inch notebook is powered by Intel Atom N270 processor and Intel 945GSE chipset. It also features a 1GB of main memory, a 160GB of hard disk, a LED backlight LCD with WSVGA resolution, and a battery that lasts for up to 6.5 hours of usage. The price is set at €320 or about $406 USD.

I have an 8.9-inch Asus EEE PC netbook myself and I think any laptop below 10-inch is not comfortable to use. If you can afford more bucks, I suggest you buy 10-inch netbook instead.
