Acer Aspire One (XP Home, White)

The Good: Attractive, slim design; big keyboard for such a small system; affordable.
The Bad: Only 512MB of RAM limits performance; wimpy battery life; no Bluetooth.
The Bottom line: The Acer Aspire One is easily the best of the current under-$400 Netbooks, but its meager allotment of memory and tiny battery limit its appeal.
