Best Netbooks – December 2009 Edition

2009 is finally close to being over. It’s been a tough year for a lot of industries but the computer industry has been going fairly strong even during the recession. A lot of that can be attributed to the rise of netbooks. We have seen a lot of new netbooks in 2009. We have rated the top netbooks in the past few months. Here is the last edition of our netbook rankings for the year 2009. Whether you are picking up a netbook for your business or as a gift, there is no better time to pick up a netbook these days. With that said, here are the best netbooks for the month of December:

ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005HA-PU17: ASUS has dominated the netbook market for the past year. Its netbooks have ranked very high in our (and many other) ratings around the web. This laptop comes with Windows 7, a more speedy CPU, and more storage for the go.

Acer AOD250-1633 Netbook: Acer is truly an innovator in the netbook market. It’s the first company that introduced an Android netbook. This one comes with Windows 7, long battery life, and much more.

HP Mini 311-1025NR Netbook: HP has finally got “it” when it comes to netbooks. The early HP netbooks where not so good in power management department. This netbook comes with a 11.6″ screen, 2GB RAM, and 6.25 hrs of battery life. Decent choice if you are looking for a larger screen netbook.

Here is how these 3 netbooks stack up against each other:

There are plenty of other netbooks that are worth a look if you are planning to pick up one. And more are on the way. Just make sure you pick up a netbook that comes with enough features to get the job done. Netbooks are not meant to be computing powerhouses, but nothing is more frustrating than buying a netbook only to find out that it is too slow or not energy efficient.

What’s your favorite netbook?
