Those three are the major ones. The jetBook and the Libre are cousins. There is a lite version of the jetBook, which is cheaper, and to my mind doesn't give up any useful functionality. Some people prefer it. The Sony 300 is a nice little package if you're willing to spend the full $200. I'll echo the "try before buy" advice. I'd also suggest you look at the forums for all of those units.
