Help purchase VFM Netbook

[slugger]

Am planning to purchase an ultra-VFM Netbook for very basic computing on the move. Need a Netbook with an OS pre-installed & can be used simply by opening the packaging - never installed any OS on a lappie before and don't want to do it for the first time now - want to play it safe.

Please help me select one


Budget:

No more than Rs. 16,500


Requirement

1. Win OS pre-installed [XP, Vista or even 7 [if possible]]
2. Webcam
3. Largest possible screen
4. Wi-fi & all possible connectivity

Forseeable genuine Activities

1. Internet through Wi-fi in College
2. Edit Word/Excel/Powerpoint documents using Open Office
3. Edit AutoCAD drawings

Possible Netbook choices - Those highlighted in Red & bolded - I am tending to like it

Simmtronics® Simmbook [Says it supports Win XPbut does not mention if it comes pre-installed, but at the same time says it will give a 1-year K7 AV license free?!]

Samsung N120

Samsung N140-14B

Samsung N140-14R

Samsung NP-N150

Samsung N310

Acer Aspire One D250

Lenovo S10-2

Jetway Ecomo 100W

HP Mini 110-1104VU

HP Mini 210

iBall LilBook 1017 probably does not have an OS - got to verify

iBall LilBook 1026 probably does not have an OS - got to verify

ASUS Eee PC 1005HA [Does not mention anyhing about Ethernet connectivity - please verify]

Asus Eee PC 1001HA [product not mentioned in Asus's official site :¬]

Am also tempted to buy a Champion Slim 13160 13" Netbook.
For a price of Rs. 17000, I get a 13.1" screeen [almost all specs tend to be the same.]. However it is said to have a very poor build quality.

Considering that I will be carrying it to college in my bag that I don't carry very carefully & the Netbook could possibly also be used by others who are also not careful with things should I consider buying it.

I also dont want to get held up because of a non-functioing Netbook. It is a little out of my budget & apparently does not have a very good build quality but I get a 13.1" screen.

Please advice

TIA

P.S: Am planning to place an oder for this within the day or max Friday for early
delivery.

Forget champion it has very poor build quality and it isnt from a reputed company so xpect least support
My freind has HCL mh04 considering ur budget Mh04 is a good netbook with all features u'll be needing

@azzu
Thanks for recommending the MH04.
Ran though its specs - screen size is stated as 10" while the others listed seem to have a screen size of 10.1".
Am hoping to buy 1 with the biggest possible screen within the budget without losing too much on the other factors

Also the battery life listed appears to be a tad low for a 6-cell - some of the Netbooks I listed seem to be offering 6-cell batteries with higher Energy

In terms of priority for my Netbook [highest priority on top]
1. Price
2. Screen size
3. OS
4. Battery
5. Webcam
6. Connectivity
7. RAM
8. Processor
9. HDD

Anybody want to help me with my Netbook??
