Fujitsu M2010

While other companies are launching two to three netbooks at a time (some even more), Fujitsu has been waiting patiently for its opportunity to enter an increasingly crowded field. And now the time has come. The M2010 has one of the most vivid and color-rich 10-inch widescreens in the business, and the infinity-symbol design is easy on the eyes, but it isn't without flaws. I can forgive the 89 percent keyboard, since this netbook is aimed at classrooms and at kids, whose hands are presumably smaller than mine. The $449 (direct) price tag and low battery scores (with its three-cell battery), however, may be tough sells.
