Just out of curiosity between the three sub notebooks below, which one would any of you choose?

Light word processing, browsing and encoded non HD video playback and storage being the primary useage. And battery life somewhere in the 4-5 hour range.

The EeePC 900 doesn't have 4-5 hour battery when stressed. You may get away with it though... in that I've had my EeePC sit idle for long periods of time without seriously losing battery. I've had about 5 hours idle with the 601 BIOS. The Acer Aspire won't get it--3 hour battery really. The MSI Wind or an EeePC 901 should work, but I'd be wary of the Wind's mechanical hard drive (my uncle's laptop, now about 4 years old, has had 3 hard drive replacements) though.

I would get the MSI Wind. The keyboard layout is just right for your hands to fit. The 80GB hard drive is a good plus. A perfect portable.
