I'm looking at getting a netbook, and I've narrowed it down to two choices which are easily available in New Zealand: the HP Mini 210 and the Dell Mini 10. I'll be keeping my MacBook and desktops for actual heavy duty work. I just want something super-portable for school and the library and whatever. If anyone has any better suggestions than these two, I'm all ears.

The HP has a superior design/appearance in my opinion. This is worth a lot to me. The Dell is easier to Hackintosh, which isn't all that important. I can get the HP for $499 (with Windows XP I think) and the Dell for $549. The HP has a 160GB HDD and the Dell a 250GB HDD and Windows 7 Starter.

Pros for HP: better design, cheaper.
Cons for HP: smaller HDD, Windows XP
Pros for Dell: bigger HDD, easier Hackintosh
Cons for Dell: worse design, more expensive
