N450+NM10 vs Z530+US15W (ASUS 1005PE vs MSI Wind U110)

[ajaidev]

I wanted to gift a laptop to my nephew and was searching for one which has the highest battery life and the newest Atom "N450". The only one i found was the Asus 1005PE which had 14hrs battery life and had a N450.

I bought the laptop it was a improvement on the N270 based netbooks but it was similar to the Z530 based netbooks. So similar infact that i am not happy with the fact that i paid almost 25% more for the 1005PE than the price of a MSI Wind U110.

Both the netbooks will give around 14hrs and in size the overall size of the U110 is even smaller and has a better camera but the 1005PE does have a bigger HDD "250gb vs 160GB"

Here is a chart of the difference:
