1. Excellent Specs: The ASUS UL30A-X5 has been one of my favorite laptop models for 2009 and from the look of its sales figures, is set to take 2010 by storm for a while more. This 13.3-inch model comes with a 1.3Ghz Core 2 processor, which is pretty decent for an ultra slim laptop. The Core 2 processor allows you to perform a variety of moderate and light computing tasks on this machine (as opposed to the Atom processors on netbooks).

For as long as I can remember, the Acer Aspire One netbook has been on the top of the netbook bestseller’s charts. There were times where it even overtook the Asus Eee netbook in sales. Here is a short list on some of the features that has attributed to the success of the Acer Aspire One netbook.

1.Price: At the time this article was written, the Acer netbook retails for around $299 a piece, making it one of the cheapest netbooks in the market. Despite its price, this model has almost identical specs with the more expensive models. It has a 1.6GHz processor, 160GB of hard drive space and 1GB of RAM. To top it up, it also has a very stylish design. I personally feel that it looks better than many other netbook models in the market.
