We like:
Battery life; sturdy chassis; compact and light
We don't like:
Disappointing screen; keyboard flexing at the corner; 13-inch screen not worth the extra money

Samsung R520

Acer Aspire One Pro 531
Its good battery life is a plus, but there are other netbooks with longer-lasting batteries and better keyboards
Toshiba Satellite A500
Despite its low-resolution screen, it's a very good all-rounder at a decent price
