I want to get a netbook for my work and would like to surf on the internet when I'm on public transports, but I don't know much about netbooks, I wonder if you guys could have any recommendations to me please? Which one should I choose? Sony? Samsung? Fujitsu? And where can I buy it for a good price?

Definitely Samsung! Amazon's prices are generally good. You will pay more for less with Sony!

Since a bunch of new netbooks came out, the NC10 is kind of behind the game anymore (also the Vaio W isn't really a netbook).

This This
would be my netbook choice right now - dual-core CPU and 2GB of RAM, wide screen, but great battery life for $399.

What are your priorities? Speed? Battery life? Graphics?

I would be inclined to wait a few minutes(!) until Samsung put Windows 7 on their range. 1.6GHz dual core, only 1Gb of RAM but upgrading that to 2Gb is trivial and costs peanuts. The NC10 has a 6 hour battery life but the newer models are even better (9 hours?). My daughter used my wife's NC10 for 2 hours and the display was still showing another 6 hours.

The NC20 is 12", bordering on non-netbook sized. Alternatively there are the N130 and N140 at 10".
