HP, Samsung, Sony & Toshiba brand are quite high in price and Prolink is too cheap & is new brand that why did not include in.
Most Specification is quite similar : like Speed (N280), Ram (1GB), HDD (160GB), Connectivity (802.11b/g/ + Bluetooth), Cam (1.3MP), Weight (approx 1.2kg).
I also aiming for a Netbook too, I think mainly is to make sure Ram to have 2 GB (but normally will have free upgrade) + those attractive free gifts depend on individual need (like external DVD writer or ext HDD). The final decision is based on your Budget $$$ vs Brand vs Design finishing.
Hope my finding can share and benefit those intended Netbook Buyers.
I will update you as tonite I will go recce, see you there. Thank you.
very nice list. I am looking for a netbook too and your list helps immensely. I can only go down on the last day itself and i hope stuff are still there!
for now, the wind looks like the most value for money. cheapest and most speced up.

I heard that if you really want to buy something, can buy it at SL, same price, the Q can sometimes be 2 hrs wait... just to get a 50 dollar ext drive.... I think no worth lah
