    I'm in the market for netbooks, and so far out of all other netbooks out there I've come up with these two. And I find it hard making up my mind to which one to get. Reasons are that it has to be small, and its battery life has to be long.

    so which one would you get, and why ?

    N110
    - has N270
    - has Windows XP
    - no wireless N
    - has bluetooth
    - best battery life (6 cell - 5900mAh)
    - black, looks more pro
    - has 1.3M pix camera
    - 160GB HDD

    N140
    - has N280
    - has Windows 7 (not sure if XP downgrade is available)
    - has wireless N
    - no bluetooth (not sure, but in their website doesn't list it)
    - battery life ok (6 cell - 5200mAh)
    - blueish or redish
    - 0.3 Mpix camera
    - 250GB HDD (really ? that would be nice)

    I like speed and everything to work, so XP would be prefered I gues. 2GB ram is mandatory, as well as SSD is most likely to go in shortly. But then I've got wireless N network at home, and smartphone that has bluetooth(eh not that I use it too much). The battery life is pretty important as portability is the main reason to get netbook (I've got laptop already). So you can see why I'm getting stuck in between these two ...

    any input would be appreciated

    From what I've seen so far, I wouldn't hold anything against Windows 7 while the N280 won't be noticeably faster than the N270. If you want more performance then you have to move to CULV, but that will cost you in battery life.
