Don't buy asus, I did and it's crap.
I'd recommend going to one of the large tesco's or even look on their website, had a good selection when I was looking. Should have bought one there myself.

 

I got a Toshiba NB520, tis a good spec, upgraded the ram and it's a capable machine.

I have a Mac Book Pro now so it gets used very little, just cant bring myself to sell the Toshiba!!

 

I've gone through so many netbooks finding the one I liked. My favourite is the Acer Aspire One 522. It has the AMD C-50 CPU that include the ATI graphics on the same chip. It looks slow in MHz, but in my experience is faster than a dual core Atom CPU. My benchmark has been Truecrypt, as I encrypt my hard drive given I take my netbook with me everywhere. The C-50 CPU is about a 1/3 faster than the equivalent Atom at encrypting on the fly using the in-built TrueCrypt benchmark. Plus the ATI graphics are way better. If you choose the right one you also get 1280x720 resolution 10.1" screen

I've tried 10.1" netbooks and dislike all of them immensely and finally settled on the 11.6" size where you get proper screen resolution (1366x768) and a full size keyboard. You can also get fairly decent cpus in them now as well as well as spending stupid money on one if you go for the alienware one. Just as portable as a 'true' netbook but much better to use.

You can get them for sensible prices if you shop about, I paid £200 end of line clearance for my Acer 11.6" laptop from Currys and it's a cracking little laptop.
