I agree, you'll be much happier with a CULV notebook, the atoms powered computers are useless if you have more than one app/window open at once.

heres another CULV for 500.

From the reivews, it's draw backs is the trackpad can be sluggish, the keyboard isn't all that comfortable, and the trackpad button is bar style.

i did a quick google and got a review:

Alternatively, you could try the wind 12. using a AMD cpu, you won't see as much battery life, but better performance.

this is 419 USD. but we're like at 0.9x in exchange rate

it has a synaptics trackpad so you might be able to get multitouch on it (i'm a big fan of 2 finger scroll).

here is a review:

but if you were to stick in your budget, i would go with the asus netbook. multitouch. and i've heard good things from their line of netbooks, plus they've a good reputation as a company.
