I did see the jetBook at $199. I hadn't done my research on it, and that wasn't a special price, so I decided not to buy anything.
And, I spent 25 minutes playing with various netbooks. Leaning toward the Acer Aspire One at $359 with 10-inch screen or a newer Acer at $399 with an 11-inch screen. I couldn't make a decision and nothing was on sale, so I decided to decide later!
Acer Aspire One with 10-inch screen:
* Atom N270 processor
* 1 Gig memory
* 160 G hard drive
* six-cell battery
* Windows XP Home Edition
Acer Aspire (whatever) with 11-inch screen:
* Atom Z520 processor
* 2 Gig memory
* 250 G hard drive
* three-cell battery
* Windows Vista Home Basic
I liked the larger screen in a netbook that was barely any larger than the other one -- but it was abysmally slow, which may be due to the Vista OS load it came with. I would replace the operating system, but the three-cell battery is also a concern.
So, I'm still thinking about which netbook I want to get.
