most netbooks dont have optical drive. this has a better screen size along with optical drive. for its price its like a laptop for a price of a netbook. but how is performance and battery? is it ok to buy AMD based laptops?

nettops
1. Sony y series- 11.6 inch
amd brazo e 450, 2gb ram, 320 hdd, win 7 starter @ 22900 mrp less 6-7 percent disc.

2. Hp dm1
same as above except win home basic @ 22500

some dealers quoted
18500 for older e 350 cpu with dos.
Good audio quality.

3. One from Samsung forgot the model name
e 450, 2 gb ram,320 hdd and win 7 home basic @ 22500
prices negotiable for this and hp with same config.

4. My favourite Asus1215 b with slight bigger 12.1 display
amd e 450 cpu, dos, 2gb ram and 320 hdd
got many diff. Quotes
@ 17500 to 18500
(ps: Not sure if e350/450 or c60 available in india as the distributor frm whom we got asus p 53 e lappy straight away mentioned that only c 50 version is for india not sure if we can get it in future as many cos. Are discontinuing 10- 12 inchers)

14 inch msi laptop with
dvd @ 20500
dos, e450 cpu, 2gb ram and 320 hdd
but very ugly

one more addition..
14 inch compaq 4300
dos, 2gb ram, 320 hdd, amd e 450 cpu and quite stunner in grey finish @ 20k frm hp store itself may get good deal from local dealer.

Acer E machines looks good with screen size for a netbook category, can sm1 confirm it would run any windows version too if installed manually as they are offering DOS as default.

you can try any version of win 7 or linux but with xp you may face driver issues

Do check Compaq Presario CQ43-300
It has 2 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 (1 x 2 GB) of ram,
AMD Dual-Core E-450 1.65 GHz,
500 GB SATA (5400 rpm),
SuperMulti DVD±R/RW with Double Layer Support,
AMD Radeon HD 6320 graphics
& is priced @20k[best buy price] in hp stores at lamington road

you can expect it around 19k from local dealer & it looks much better than acer

just my opinion decision is yours........
