There is no question that netbooks make great gifts. Not only they are very useful for most people, they do feel more expensive than they really are. Maybe it’s the cool factor or it could be because you are giving away a computer after all. You certainly want to make sure you do your research and give away netbooks that are painless to use and get the job done.

There are plenty of cool netbooks on the market. But if I were to give one away, I’d go with one that has something unique. It could be the design or a netbook that has a very long battery life. That way the gift looks and feels even more especial. These 4 netbooks fit the bill in that regard:

Lenovo ThinkPad X100E 11.6-Inch Netbook: has a decent AMD CPU, a larger screen and comes with Windows 7 professional. It’s very well designed too.

HP Mini 210-1099SE 10.1-Inch Vivienne Tam Edition Netbook: when it comes to style, this netbook is second to none. It’s not as cheap as some other netbooks on the market but a great gift for fashion fans.

Lenovo S10-3t 0651-37U 10.1-Inch Multitouch Netbook: a netbook tablet hybrid that gives you the best of both worlds and has a decent battery life as well.

MSI U160-006US 10-Inch Netbook: has the best battery life on the market. It can last you up to 15 hours per charge. It’s also very solid in CPU and other departments.

If you are looking to give the gift of netbooks to your friends or family members, the above netbooks should give you some options.
