ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I'm going to use this in school primarily, with some part-time usage at home or traveling. An HDMI port is definitely something I want in the netbook (Though I might take one without it, if I really like it), along with G/N Wifi and an average battery life of at least 4-5 hours.

These are the current two I'm looking at:

Here's a netbook I recently got, the MSI Wind U210: http://www.everyjoe.com/thegadgetb [...] pressions/

It's also available on NewEgg. It actually has enough power to run CS Source (though obviously at low settings) . What I really like about this netbook though are it's 1366 x 768 resolution, large and easy-to-type on keyboard, and HDMI port!
