The Bottom Line Two hours of battery life is simply not enough for the otherwise unobjectionable and basic Averatec Buddy Netbook. HP's Mini 311 adds a larger, high-definition display and advanced graphics to a basic Netbook, while keeping the price very appealing. Once it starts shipping with Windows 7, this could become our favorite Netbook. Dell's Mini 10v keeps a lot of the features of the more expensive Mini 10, while dropping the price below $300. It's one of only a handful of $299 Netbooks that doesn't look and feel especially cheap. Asus hits nearly all the marks in the 1005HA, the latest version of its iconic Eee PC, highlighted by a 6-hour-plus battery life. Samsung brings a different look to a generic Netbook build with the N310, but is there any good reason this costs almost $500?
