What do you think about the new netbooks?

I am using asus and currently this is my only computer. I am not very thrilled with its performance, but it's not that bad, just little slow, or maybe this is my internet connection. Unfortunately my HP laptop broke down and it wasn't worth repairing it, so I was actually forced to buy the cheapest computer available just to have access to internet. Where I live there aren't many netbook choices in the stores, I only have seen asus, acer and HP. I considered HP netbook for a while, because of screen size, but eventually decided on buying cheaper one, especially that I didn't trust HP brand anymore ( somehow my laptop gave me trouble since the very beginning and lasted barely 2 years ). I have my asus for about 3,5 months and except for the speed it works good, hopefully I'll have better luck with this one.
