Buying the Best Value Mini-Laptop


As area coordinator of all Adventist district pastors in Cavite, I am presently making recommendations for the best value mini-laptop that would suit the needs of an average user who's into web browsing, document creation, and powerpoint presentation.

The review I am writing will also benefit other Christian leaders in the entire Central Luzon Conference territory. Please limit your comments as much as possible on the following mini-laptop models (not the ultraportables like Macbook Air) that are now available in the Philippines:

-Asus eeePC 900 or 1000
-HP 2133 mini-note
-Acer Aspire One
-MSI Wind

Kindly write the pros and cons of your recommended model. Try to highlight the best features you like in it. If you can follow the suggested format below I would highly appreciate it.  Since I don't have enough time for research I would greatly benefit from this forum specially from actual owners. Please comment on any of the following:  OS, Processor, Hard Drive, Software, Keyboard, Screen, Extras, & Price from the best value store. 

Suggested format sample:

Model:  HP 2133 Mini Note
Pros:
       -excellent design: rugged metal casing
-8.9 inch screen
Cons: 
- uses Via's C7-M processor to run Vista (should be XP)
        - price range can buy a full-featured notebook
        - not multitouch touchpad like that of Asus eeePC 900
Features: 3 USB slots, an ethernet adapter, an SD card reader, VGA out, a Webcam, a microphone, and integrated Wi-Fi.

Features I Like Best: Aluminum casing not plastic,Full feature keyboard, & PC Express Card Slot

Price Verdict: 26,000 pesos - expensive for a non-intel processor mini-laptop. But considering it's durability, design, and tech support, I'll go for it.

Go for a EEEPC 1000... same price, bigger screen, more power and features, but still it can't comb my hair in the morning :-P

Don't I get something for actually commenting on your blog?
