    It still only has 1GB ram.

    Sunday I saw a HP netbook in the paper for $399 with 4GB ram.

    Are you sure about that 4GB RAM part? It might not have been a netbook, or it could have been a typo. I have not seen any netbooks shipped with more than 1GB of RAM.

    The Asus Eee 1201N comes with 2GB standard. Although since it has the dual core Atom 330, there's the usual crowd arguing the legitimacy of its netbook status. :p

    And eww, Windows 7 Starter. I'd rather use DOS. >_<

    You're not missing anything performance-wise, the N450 is no faster than the N280. See here:
