HP Mini 311
Nvidia Ion graphics adds HD video and basic gaming functionality ; reasonably priced ; hi-def display
Annoying touch pad ; streaming Flash video support for new Nvidia Ion graphics is spotty ; 20 extra for a white lid, seriously
HP's Mini 311 adds a larger, high-definition display and advanced graphics to a basic Netbook, while keeping the price very appealing. Once it starts shipping with Windows 7, this could become our favorite Netbook.

Very good graphics performance, Built-in mobile broadband, Stylish design, Comfortable keyboard, Loud speakers
Shorter battery life than Windows XP version, Touchpad has too much friction
There are no surprises when it comes to the port selection on the Mini 311. On the left side is a USB 2.0 and HDMI port; on the right is Ethernet, VGA, two USB 2.0, headphone/mic, and a 5-in-1 memory card reader

Excellent all-in-one/jack-of-all-trades Netbook for field work, entertainment, cafe emailing/browsing, et al
The touchpad is extra-wide, is the same material and flush with the bezel, so stray pinky fingers can cause unpredictable click-n-drags. Just bear in mind that you'll have to pay attention to those extra digits
