I think you guys need to do some comparison reviews on budget laptops/notebooks. There's a stack of them out there and they all need reviewing! How about the Asus XP eee and some of the other cheapos?

If you can’t stretch to the Samsung N110, the 1005HA makes an excellent lower-cost alternative

Average User Rating 6

As one of Australia's few locally designed netbooks, the Kogan Agora lives up to some lofty netbook ideals, but it’s sadly ho-hum in too many aspects to be seen as a real netbook contender.
