What's the #1 netbook brand?

I've owned the original, and now the EEE PC 901 model from Asus. I think they have everyone beat with respect to sheer battery life.

My vote is for Asus.

I think I am going to get the eee pc 1000he, the battery life is amazing on it. But I also might wait to see when the eee pc t91 comes out.

But yes I think asus is the best.; ▶ Reply to This

When the netbook is in ECO mode, the traditional hard drive is shut down to save on power consumption. It also has a 6 cell battery and when you put the netbook in ECO mode, the U115 Hybrid can achieve a battery life up to 12 hours long. You can have either an 8GB SSD or a 16GB SSD matched with either a 120GB or 160GB 2.5 inch SATA HDD. Plus I like the keyboard being a larger size for a netbook. The U115 Hybrid has a 10" wide LCD with a 1024x 600 resolution. It also has an Intel® Atom Processor Z530 1.60GHz, 1GB RAM, 4 in 1 card reader（XD/SD/MMC/Memory Stick), and a
2.0 Megapixel webcam.

Wow 12 Battery life, wide screen and dual storage - SSD and SATA, that has my eyes wide open.

I am a fan of the MSI netbooks, but I also like what I have seen from ASUS and the HP Mini series.
But if you like a touch screen convertible TabletPC Netbook check out the Gigabyte T1028M TouchNote:; ▶ Reply to This
