Netbook advice

davidnAs part of a very planned-in-advance and non-surprise birthday present this year, we're thinking about getting me a netbook to replace my increasingly confused and decrepit laptop. The idea is to get something light and with a good battery life to do MS Office and Internet-type things, run Dosbox and possibly MMF, as I'm still going to be using my desktop for anything heavier than that.
The trouble is I've no idea about netbooks, other than (now) that 1024x600 seems to be a pretty standard resolution for them. We went out today to Micro Center, an electronics place that was somehow transported forward in time from the late 80s, and the Acer Aspire One d255e seemed like it fit most of the above requirements, though reviews for it online are a bit mixed. Does anyone have any brand recommendations over any others?
Thanks for any thoughts.
