    Bestselling Netbooks of November

    Now that Black Friday and Cyber Monday are over we're moving into the final stage of the shopping season and something I like to do on a monthly basis (for those new readers out there) is highlight the best selling netbooks from the previous month. Now I'm starting to sound like a broken record, but for the fifth month in a row the Asus Eee PC 1005HA has again topped the sales charts holding down the number 1 slot. However, November marks the first month that the Windows 7 Asus Eee PC 1005HA version has taken over the top spot. I believe we'll continue to see Windows 7 slowly take over the market as manufacturers cease production on Windows XP netbooks. This will lead to some VERY good deals in the coming shopping season on Windows XP netbooks which I'll be sure to highlight during upcoming posts. In any case, the Asus Eee PC 1005HA with Windows 7 starter is currently priced at reasonable $349.97. You can read my review here. Let's move onto the rest of the list:

    10. Dell Inspiron Mini 1011 10.1-Inch Obsidian Black Netbook - Up to 8 Hours 8 Minutes of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter) $325.61

    There were some changes ups to the top 10 bestselling netbooks list, but like October the list has again been dominated by the Asus Eee PC 1005HA with 4 of the top 10 spots with the Windows 7 versions in black at $349.97 and blue at $377.95 taking 1st and 3rd. The Toshiba Mini NB205 was 4th and at $348 with Windows 7 is a great deal. I still believe The Toshiba NB205 has the best chassis on a netbook I've reviewed yet. It just feels like it's built from better materials. Read my full review here. Dell rarely makes the top selling list at Amazon because most people buy direct, but because of the Cyber Monday deal the Dell Mini came in at number 10 and priced at $325.61 with Windows 7. But in the end, just like the last 5 months, all manufacturers still have their eyes set on the ASUS Eee PC 1005HA the current bestseller.

    Which netbook do you want to buy will you stick with Windows XP to save money before they sell out? Or is time to upgrade to Windows 7? Be sure to read my post on the best netbooks under $300 if you're also looking for some great deals.

      I think the Asus Eee PC will continue to top the charts. I personally own the 1005HA windows XP version (but bought it before Win 7 came out). I love it though.

    2. Yah, I think it will be tough for another manufacturer to take over the top spot.
