Hi guys,

I'm in need of a portable work laptop. Currently I'm using an Acer Aspire One 150, which I hate due to it's small screen (8.9 inches) and small vertical resolution (1024*600). Now planning to sell it off and get myself a new one.

I need an affordable netbook or even an ultra-portable that has:

  • 10.1 or 11+ inch screen (bigger the better)
  • 1366 x 768 resolution
  • Atom N450 or equivalent (or CULV)
  • Windows 7 Starter (though I don't mind Windows XP)
  • Under $600

Other things like storage, webcam and high capacity battery isn't necessary. The faster CPU speed and larger screen resolution is more important. Also has to be lightweight (obviously)

Closest thing I've seen to my requirements is currently the HP 311-1018TU although it's a bit over my budget, and I don't exactly need ION acceleration. My max budget is $600, sorry it's pretty much a fixed budget.

Thanks in advance.

Edit:
Deal found on COTD, thanks to those that helped.
