| Well, that depends on what you do with it.
The Netbook (I have the Asus Eee PC 1000 HE in white, which is really cool) is completely capable of all office-like tasks, but you won't have much fun with games on it. On the plus side, and its main strength, it's ultra-portable (and the HE also has a really good battery endurance).
However, Netbooks typically have no DVD drive, which could be problematic, if it is your only computer.
The other one you listed looks decent enough. It also won't be capable of running games with the integrated graphics solution, but other than that...
Bye
Thanee
