netbook recommendation?

by tylersmiller Jun 30, 2009 11:27PM PDT

This is not so much a technology help question as it is a recommendation question. I want to get a netbook to take on an upcoming two week cruise. I'd rather not carry around my 17 inch HP laptop. So, on Newegg, I found three that I think are all good choices. Im looking for one below $400, as I won't be using it much except for this cruise and other travel adventures. Anyway, below are my three choices. Does anyone favor a certain brand, feature, etc? Please let me know.

THANKS!!

I own the 8.9 inch version of the Acer you listed. ALL you gave have me carry around a nice v450 Logitech Nano mouse.

I also have the SIX CELL BATTERY such as the http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834115552 has.

Why the smaller battery?
