Steve,
Did alittle research online. I have a friend also looking for the best netbook.
Looks to me like the answer is the ASUS 1000HE. This one has the newer processor in it, has easily upgradeable memory and hard drive, nicer keyboard and is proven to run Windows 7 well with minimal tinkering. It also has a 9.5 hour battery and 3.2lb weight. Battery is getting great reviews.
Next model up is very appealing too - the 1008HA. This is a much slimmer unit, but all is sealed so no replacing battery, memory or hard drive without major surgery. Battery time is less at 3-4 hours. Weight only 2.4 lbs. Has same processor, hard drive and memory as the 1000HE.
Both are right around $400 on Amazon.
