I just picked up an Acer Aspire one from Staples this past Saturday night. I am LOVING it!
I have a full size laptop, primarily for my novice digital photography, all the bells and whistles, upgraded for gaming with better screen etc etc etc. That said, while I love the laptop (but hate the Vista), at a 17 inch screen size, its way to darn big to haul around, and definitely wont fit in my saddlebags on my bike trips. I wanted a netbook for photography while I am running around, my hubby and I are often away on weekends, and I take pictures like a crazy person. I like to see the pics without having to wait until I get home and drag out the big laptop, so the netbook is great for me in that aspect. I also like to sit in bed, or on the couch and surf or postwhore while I watch tv, and at 2.2 lbs, the netbook is definitely easier to use to do so than the big laptop, and I dont need a laptable to use it on my lap! Being able to snag it right up is a bonus for me. Lastly, while its great for viewing my pics, and surfing the web, its also great for listening to music while I am moving around the house. I have been packing and moving this weekend, and being able to set it up in a corner, its loud enough I can hear it downstairs without external speakers. Not the best quality sound at full volume, but good enough for work music. The only things I dont like about it are the limited battery life, but thats not really a problem as when are we really without some power source for very long? And it's a bit on the slow side. Obviously its not as fast as a standard laptop, and sometimes when first loading up a webpage its a bit slow, but actual surfing wise, its almost as fast as my laptop. For traveling and play, Id definitely recommend it!

I'll have to get back with ya on that...of all the ones I researched, this was not one of them. I saw it at the store, after looking at them for months, and it was a decent price, $299 and met my simple needs. If he's looking for a super high tech netbook, the Sony version is tinier than a standard netbook, and has lots of bells and whistles, for $599 on sale at Staples.

There are no best features of a Netbook.
The only thing that should standout is that the price is cheaper than a real laptop. Keep in mind that with some shopping you can get a REAL laptop like a lenovo G530 or generic Dell inspiron in the low 400s. Otherwise...USB ports and display quality and battery life are bout the only thing to scratch yer balls about when it comes to Netbooks.

 I'd go that route over a netbook any day.
