The world of Netbooks has evolved considerably since they were introduced in late 2007. The original netbooks had smaller screens, shorter 2-3 hours of battery life, and were only effective at internet browsing and basic computing. The newest netbooks have large 10″ screen, a stellar 10 hour battery life, and have enough power to multitasking and stream high def movies.

Asus, one of the oldest and most reputable netbook manufacturer, has created a winner with their 1005HA-PU1X. This netbook is based on the MacBook Air style body, has a bright 10.1″ inch screeen, a 92% reduced keyboard, and has a battery that last 8-10 hours on a single charge. Let the numbers speak for themselves: On Amazon.com the 1005HA-PU1X has a 439 reviews with a 4 star rating. On Newegg.com it has a 5 egg rating with 183 total reviews. That’s huge evidence that people are like and are buying this netbook.

Note: Be sure to read our full review on the Acer Timeline.

Acer has just released new version of their popular Acer Timeline Series. The Acer AS3810TZ-4078 has many great things all in one package: 8-10 hour battery life, fast CPU, quiet operation, excellent screen quality, and evenly spaced keyboard. Another bonus: it comes with Windows 7! Yeah! The only negative is that you’ll have to get rid of the bloatware the machine comes preinstalled with. This a great system for students or business people on the go or for basis everyday computing. Some users are getting beyond 10 hours with minor system tweaking. Amazing.

Newegg is selling the AS3810TZ-4078 for $549 ($150 off the $699 retail price) with free shipping. You can buy it at this discounted price until November 22nd.
