Hi guys

After much head scratching and discussions with the wife, I've come to the conclusion:
I'm in the market for a netbook.:D

General use will be for internet browsing & the odd video or two on travels and if possible depending on performance drawing on Autocad with a external monitor.

Regarding above, I want the following:
N450 Atom Cpu
2 gig ram
wireless and 3G
and maybe a Nvidia Ion chipset

Currently looking at the Aspire One 532H, since can't find any Compaq/HP Mini 311's!

Any recommendations or advice or experience will be appreciated.

I would recommend the ASUS 1201PN

Currently sold for $484 ~ R3700 excluding shipping and taxes.

MyUS.com could be an option to purchase the Netbook, I'm inclined not to recommend the 1201N(older version of 1201PN) model as it is quite a power drainer.
 
Thanx, but I'll rather wait a month for the PN, or get it straight from the US.
No sence in getting the older model.
 
Also make sure the display is at least 11.6'', the 9'' and 10'' displays are just too small. Or maybe it's just my eyes that's used to a 15.4'' display.
