Is Asus still the king in the netbook market?

[Rman]

I'm looking to pick up a netbook, mostly for mobile computing.  Is Asus still best in terms of specs versus prices?  I also heard Sony is moving into the ''netbook'' market, and I've always loved their smaller machines, though they tend to suffer from Sony's premium pricing.

I just saw the Republic of Gamers laptop advertised for $800 Canadian (re-furb but whatever), makes me re-think my recent purchase

I wouldn't buy a potential sony netbook if I was paid to, sorry.

The new EEEs are pretty good.  I keep trying to decide what brand I want, and everytime I think I've got it figured out I read about a new one coming out in a month or so that would be better.  Sooner or later I'm gonna have to just bite the bullet and get one.

Asus doesn't believe in kings, they're a republic.

1366x768

omg I hate that resolution 

it's supposed to be 16:9 but it's not even multiples of 16 and 9 wtf

i have no idea why it took off, many lcd televisions use it, too

[Eel O'Brian]

it's a compromise between 720p and 1080, makes 1080i broadcasts look better

I actually think I heard it has something to do with manufacturing efficiencies, forget the details.  still, NERD RAGE
