      Best Selling Netbooks of August

      The best selling netbook for August is the Acer AO532h-2588 at $279.99 which means it's the third time in a row a new company has taken the lead as the best seller - last month it was the ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005PE-PU27-BK. In any case, for a netbook at just $279.99 the Acer was bound to sell well in August:

      Top 10 Best selling Netbooks of August:

      The bestselling netbooks that are in bold listed above are priced much lower than usual and are also what I believe to be the best value for your money. So be sure look above at the bold ones for some ideas on what to buy as they're all great. The bestseller: Acer AO532h-2588 10.1-Inch Onyx Blue Netbook - Up to 8 Hours of Battery Life $279.99 is a great netbook for the low price of only $279.99. It is my favorite pick out of all 10 of them listed above due to the 8 hour battery life and sub $300 price.

      If you're still not sure about what netbook to buy I suggest you sort through the netbooks using the netbook comparison grid. I'm available for help if you have any questions that aren't answered by the netbook buyers guide, so feel free to contact me if you still need help deciding what netbook to buy.

      Samsung NF Series Netbooks Announced

      Samsung has just released their NF series of netbooks - the NF110, NF210 and NF310. The Samsung NF310 is has the best specs with an Intel Atom N550 1.5 GHz CPU, 10.1 Inch, 1366 x 768 pixel display and Windows 7 starter. The price? Only $399 - this is awesome folks. You can get the brand new dual core Intel Atom N550 1.5 GHz CPU and a 1366 x 768 res display for under $400? Count me in - I was thinking of getting an upgrade this year and this could be it (more to come when I get one in my hands).

      The N210 has just a single core processor and 1024 x 600 pixel display for only $20 less. So if you were thinking of saving $20 and getting this model I'd highly recommend against it.

      The N110 is - as you'd expect - the budget model; however, I hear it's not available in the US.

      Release Date: Fall

      I'll have more on these models soon.

      HP Mini 5103 gets the dual core Atom N550 treatement

      It was only a few days ago that the dual core Atom N550 1.5 GHz processor was announced; however, now we have two netbooks announced that will feature the new processor. First it was the Acer Aspire One D255, but now we have the HP Mini 5103 jumping into the ring as well. In fact, several other netbooks should be announced with the dual core Atom N550 processors inside in the coming weeks as well.

      Looks like we'll have even more competition heating up for this crucial shopping season in the coming months.

      Acer D255 Netbook To Feature the Dual Core Atom N550 Processor

      Well, that wasn't long. Just a few days after officially announcing the dual core Intel Atom N550 processor we have the first netbook that will be featuring it - The Acer D255.

      The netbook is currently available for $399; however, it's oddly only available from the Home Shopping Network at this time. I'm sure we'll see it at Amazon.com and other retailers in the coming weeks. Full specs include Intel Atom N550 1.5 GHz dual core processor, 250 GB HD, 1 GB RAM and a 10 inch display with 1024 x 600 resolution.
