I still choose the MSI Wind with large display 10 inch also with 9 cell battery will make the netbook battery life longer

Engadget is currently doing a reader survey on the 'best netbook out there'. It will be interesting to see the results and see if a predominantly US centric readership skews the results...

Thanks for making it easier to comment.

I'm surprised that you kicked the Inspiron out for not being configurable — the NZ model is configured at the highest spec possible, which meets all of your stated requirements. It is one of the few SSD models, and I think the only fanless model available. It is still far from perfect (battery life, ) but as I said on twitter: “Works for me”

I think this category is going to light up a little with the recent approach to embedding mobile data cards in them. Dell are already doing this [but not in NZ], and I think someone launching a new network would look at what VodaUK or AT&T are doing. I wish mine had one, as a netbook that is constantly connected is pretty damn useful.

I am a fan of the ASUS EEE 1000H as well. I tried an ACER AspireOne which is not listed here and I did not like it much. I vote for the ASUS machine. *raises hand*
