Asus Eee Netbooks
Asus seems to pump out a netbook every month. The trends for late 2009 seem to be larger screens at 10 inches or so, but not more than 11.6". Also, the use of more energy efficient Intel Atom processor, battery technology, and other components are allowing for longer operation from a single charge. If you're looking for a new netbook, you should be able to get one that can run 7+ hours without charging.
Trends for Netbooks in late 2009
- Bigger screens. Up to 11.6".
- Longer battery life. 8+ hours.

9 inch screen
Laptops with 9" screens were the reasons why netbooks became popular. Touted as the gadget for computer users who want to primarily just surf the Internet and do some non-graphical work. In late 2009, 9 inch netbooks are slowly being replaced by 10"+ screens for about the same or lower price.
