So in the next few weeks, I would like to buy a netbook. The market is saturated, so I'd like to ask for some advice here.

What do you guys think of the current offerings? What's considered "the best" now-a-days? What kinds of netbooks do Arch users have?

/me is also awaiting responses, I plan on getting one in the next few weeks as well

I don't have one yet, but I've been looking around a few weeks ago. Apart from the usual brands (Asus, Acer, Samsung, Lenovo), my attention was also drawn to this one: http://www.pointofview-online.com/showroom.php?shop_mode=category_homepage&category_id=83 Its display is apparently excellent. Not sure it is easily available in the US, though.

Otherwise I'd probably buy a "plain old" EeePC.

Yeah the more I look at these things, the more an "ordinary" Eee 1000 looks good to me http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASUS_Eee_PC#Eee_1000_series
