Need some help to make a decision

Hey guys,

So I got the chance to get a new netbook through my ISP, they'll charge it on my bill. I have 3 choices to pick from but I can't seem to make a final decision mainly due to brand loyalty. My favorite is TOSHIBA, but out of this three it looks like the less-powered, so I need a hand from you to help me make up my mind, I'm going to leave the specs and the price of each one.

Toshiba NB255-SP1011M
Intel® Atom N455 (1.66 Ghz, 667 MHz)
1 GB DDR3 RAM
250GB HDD (5400 rpm)
$399

LG X170-Xenia
Intel® Atom P N570 (1.66 GHz/2x512 KB/8.5 W)
2 GB RAM
320GB HDD
$446

ASUS Lamborghini Eee VX6
Intel® Atom™ D525 (Dual Core; 1.8GHz)
2GB DDR3 RAM
2.5" SATA 250GB HDD
$734


Basically I need it for school and some small business stuff. I want a netbook instead of a laptop due to mobility and practicity preferences.

Many thanks in advance

 

Can you upgrade the RAM? The Toshiba one should be comparable if you do that.

All three should be sufficient for school (especially if using resource-efficient Linux distro), but what kind of small business stuff do you do?

 

I'm not sure about that, I couldn't find any info on Toshiba's website about this specific model.

I do run a small lunch making and delivery business, so my needs are pretty much e-mailing, spreadsheet editing, graph/chart making and some basic design (mainly on Publisher) for wrap paper and stuff...

Thank you for your input.

 

1 GB isn't too low for that, although multitasking may be limited and/or slow. What is the OS it's going to have?

 

if you can, go for asus then lg.

 

Thank you both for your input.

Regarding the OS, I'll definitely keep Crunchbag Linux, but as far as Windows goes I'll go for Win7

 

The second one will be my recommendation, since you're using Windows 7. It'll definitely benefit from having the dual-core processor and 2 GB of RAM instead of minimum requirements. The price is more reasonable as well, with a larger hard drive.

 

Thank you! I decided to go for the LG

Thanks a lot for your help guys!
