I am pretty happy with my Acer Ferrari One - mainly because it has a
proper CPU (AMD Athlon X2 Dual Core Processor L310) and runs 64-bit
Ubuntu 10.04 and also supports hardware assisted virtualisation (i.e.
allows me to run KVM virtual machines). Atom-based netbooks usually
only support 32-bit mode and don't support hardware assisted
virtualisation, but have much better battery life instead.

If you only want to do sofa surfing, it might be overkill though.
