I have found most important part of a netbook is the keyboard layout it provides. I've been using asus one for last one year or so, and I don't like its small keyboard. There are netbooks out there which provides a better keyboard design, and as you will be mostly using your netbook for email/browsing stuffs, I think you should make sure the keyboard on it suffices your need.
