What are you wanting this for? You can get the windows xp version on the Acer Aspire One for $300 now. I managed to install Vista to it, but xp runs ok on it as well, also the HP one was actually the slowest one out of all the netbooks, trust me i researched. My girlfriend ended up buying it for me, and neither of us regret it. I have office 2007 enterprise edition on it, thanks to a friend who gave me theirs because they liked 2003 better. Specs on the Aspire One:
Atom N270 1.7GHZ cpu
1GB Ram
160GB Hard drive
Windows XP Home Edition

I was looking at the netbooks yesterday. it said it uses a 16 gig solid state drive ( like a thumb drive) It said to use a external drive hard drive. It will have USB. It wont have a optical drive either. Dell has 15" laptops with regular hard drives and a DVD, 2 gigs of ram and XP for $449.00 (60 bucks more than netbook) This Dell is the cheapest one and is better than the netbooks I think the novelty is what people want. I wouldnt mind having one but a regular laptop isnt much more. i think it comes with linux.

You can get a 60 GB hard drive (not SSD) on the HP Mini:
