Netbook for Xmas?

[lolwut]

I'm getting a netbook for Xmas to take to school with me and do coursework on.
I was thinking about the Acer Aspire One, but I'm not sure if I like the idea of having the mouse buttons on either side of the trackpad...

Can anyone recommend me any other netbook which is around or preferably under £200?

I'd like it to be able to run XP but I have XP disks so it doesn't need to have XP preinstalled. Having Linux preinstalled is fine.

:) Thanks!

But you would need to get the correct drivers.

That's what I would say too. the 901 is perfect.

If a little pricey, what about the MSI Wind?

The MSI Wind is decent feature wise. Having said that it's a giant compared to the EEE in size.

I'll have a look.
However my dad's leaning towards the Acer Aspire One (Linux) because it's under £200...
Does anyone have any thoughts specifically about that one?
But I'll check out the Eee 901 and Wind, thanks. :)

Not sure if I'll go for the 901, too expensive.
