A netbook?

Isn't it called a notebook?

There's a difference between a netbook and a notebook, so which one is it that you want. If you say 10" im assuming you mean NETbook, because the Eee is a NETbook.

What are you using the computer for? Depending on that, current Atom-based netbooks may not be fast enough for you. It would be useful to have your price range and OS preference (Linux will be cheaper).

A notebook is a laptop. A netbook is a more compact, less powerful laptop. It's features are traditionally 5" less or more on the screen, Windows XP, only a single GB of RAM or at most 2, small harddrives and no disc drives(I'm not sure about this last one.)

Netbooks tend to be very underpowered on both CPU and graphics but are also cheap. Also some netbooks run Linux. What will you be using the computer for, so we can tell you whether it would perform well enough?

a 10" NOTEbook and a 10" NETbook would typically be different. A netbook is will typically have slower processor, less ram, and is focused on long battery life and only being able to do basic processes like surfing the web and word processing (that doesn't mean it can't do some gaming, i can play Civ4 on mine). A notebook would typically have faster speeds and more memory. Also netbooks do not tend to have optical drives (CD, DVD, etc).

 

Aside from that, I have an Acer Aspire One, and I like it a lot. The only gripe that I have about netbooks in general is the low screen resolution. I would like to have a netbook with AT LEAST 1280 x 768. 1024 x 600 just doesn't cut it in my book.
