Please help me choose a Netbook

[Temi_D]

Hi all, I'm currently after a netbook for use at university. I will greatly appreciate it if anyone can recommend me one with the following specs:

CPU: Has to be dual-core, doesn't matter whether its Intel or AMD (can recommend single core ones too since dual-core ones seem to be rare)
Screen: 8.9 - 12 inches, at least 1280x720 or 1366x768 resolution
Graphics: Either Nvidia ION or ATi integrated 3000/4000 series (intel is crap)
RAM: Not really bothered as long as its upgradable.
Battery life: doenst really matter no me
Hard drive: doesnt matter
WLAN and Ethernet port
Willing to spend up to £500

So far the only one I've found that fits the spec is the Acer ferrari one which costs £400 and looks very cool too.

Couldn't resist, hopefully the prancing horse will peal off....

Your resolution requirements rule out anything less than 11 inches screen size. The Acer Ferrari "Netbook" is treading a fine line between being a Netbook and an Ultra Potable i.e. It’s not small, light or has a long battery life and it’s specification are higher than most Netbooks. Also, it doesn’t have an HDMI out port which is quite a big omission.

In terms of alternatives – there are loads of Netbooks launching soon with Ion’s and better specs than what is around now.

Oh, I didn't notice notice that it didnt have HDMI, I guess I can forget that then. Been looking at the Point of View one as well now
