From experience. I've always been a Sony Vaio fan and just recently purchased a big all in one Vaio. I needed something for just surfing the net when I'm watching TV and I did not want to spend a lot on a laptop since I'd primarily being using the big Vaio. I bought an Acer Netbook whicgh has a 10.1 screen. I opted to buy it from Cosco as they have a 90 return policy. I tried it a week and LOVED IT. I then decided since I knew I was comfortable with the size to upgrade and go for a Sony Vaio netbook. I was so dispointed in the Vaio, that I sent it back to Sony and went back and bought the much cheaper Acer.
From experience I can honestly say that that $299 Acer is all you will need. It by far beat out the $449 Sony Vaio. Now HP has a netbook as well for around $350 (Also at Cosco) but honestly I would not waste the money. I'd go with the Acer. I'm sure you'll be thrilled and if you're not as I said Cosco has a 90 unconditional return policy.
