One of the key features to consider has to do with your use/habits. The weight will matter a great deal if you are going to be lugging it around on your shoulder on a regular basis. I have been carrying one around for about 10 years now, and I would not spend money on a heavy laptop with better features than a smaller/lighter one. Nothing else trumps that for me. I am immensely impressed with The HP and Dell netbook offerings. If you aren't going to carry it around that much then other things may be more important.
