I am planning to buy a netbook for my daily work.I be using this mainly for share trading,net browsing,working in ms office,reading ebook and watching movie.Mostly 700mb rips.
I am chosing netbook over laptop as nb is more light weight and easy to carry everywhere possible on earth:p
Budget is strictly Rs.16k/- not more than that.
I have shortlisted few models from flipkart below:-
Asus 1015px-13.5k
Acer Aspire One Happy2-15.5k
And Hp mini 110 series 3729TU-15.6k

So, suggest which will be the best out of there, you can also suggest any better model than this three.

First and the foremost, ditch the idea of an Intel Atom netbook.

Either pick an AMD C-50 based netbook in your budget or spend 4K more and get the E-350 one. E-350 is worth it.

Will probably buy from chandni chowk.

Sorry I can't spend more than 16k:( So, any model based on amd c-50 within my budget.

You are right guys atom is very slow, it also can't handle fullhd video.It has no hd video decoder inbuild in the die.
So i increase my budget to 22k.Sugest me netbook based on amd brazos.Another question which is more faster intel dual core p6100 or amd brazos

Intel Pentium Dual Core P6100 should be 40-50% faster but really crappy on battery life considering it is a 3 year old "laptop" processor. Not a nebook processor.

AMD E-350/E-450 will run games better and play videos videos smoothly. And you know why.

You'll also find people saying the same for Sony. For every laptop company, in fact.

well, I do remember reading an Anandtech review saying HP dm1 is better than Sony YB. So, I'd recommend going with dm1.

i think Flipkart will ship to kolkata. As the box won't be much bigger than a briefcase for a netbook. But 15" will surely need road permit. same for north east.

i have used uncle's Asus Atom based laptop. it was just unusable. i have never seen that slow a laptop. moreover bloated with many useless heavy softwares like McAfee A/V.

Also why considering P series processor? B series is better as they are Sandy Bridge based with better graphics.

Thanks Sam for your valuable suggestion.Actually I am asking about P series to compare with AMD Fusion processor.
I know B series is better but i need something portable to carry anywhere.So netbook (11.6inch) with AMD fusion processor will be the right choice for me

one thing which i personally want to know is, AMD E450. does it really increase battery life over E350? both are essentially the same. Because of improvement in manufacturing process, AMD decided for a mild bump on processing as well as graphics side but this should also lead to lower voltage as we have seen with Athlon II and Phenom II series. but according to AMD slides, netbook based on 450 should offer 10hr battery life to around 6hr by 350. performance wise, both are same. 50Mhz higher processor & Graphics turbo won't help as both are meant for 11"s.

i have checked and many more reviews & previews. also checked motherboard with E450. but hardly any laptop review with these refreshed processors. well, real life battery life should be same. 10hr battery life is a marketing gimmick. anything over 5hr is quite acceptable whatever your work is.

5 hours battery life is more than enough more me.
