Looking at Netbooks

[fatediesel]

I'm looking at buying a Netbook and was wondering if anyone has any advice. Right now I'm leaning towards the Asus Netbook in the link. It has great battery life, a dual core processor, and the memory can be expanded. Amazon also has a deal where I could upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium for $20. I'm not very computer savvy and am mainly just looking for something I could watch movies on when I travel and surf the internet. I would still have my laptop for remotely connecting to my office computer. Does this seem like a good computer for my needs or can anyone offer any alternatives?

I have the Acer Aspire One, but if/when I replace it this is the one I'm looking at. Really like how easy they are to upgrade the RAM. Mine you had to completely disassemble, this one I believe is one screw and and access door. Same with the network card and HDD.

I'm debating whether I want to spend more and get a higher-end Netbook. For $120 more I could get the linked Netbook which has a 12.1" screen, more memory, HDMI, and a better graphics processor. It comes with Windows 7 Home Premium and more memory, which I would have probably upgraded if I went with the 10.1" model, so really it's only about $70 more than the previous model I linked to. It's battery life isn't as good but I as long as it lasts about 4 hours I'd be fine.
