Hi,
Just bought an eMachines em-350 net book. ($160). I've installed win 7 ultimate and SL 10.6.6
I used netbookinstaller from mymacnetbook.com.  Works really well.  See the site for details.
I installed a 2gb ddr2 800 SO-Dim, wifi is via USB wireless n doggle (winstar from memory), uses a ralink chipset and downloaded a osx10.6 driver.  Bluetooth via a USB adapter it's tiny cost $2.

All working really well ordered a Dell 1510 wifi card to replace the stock one.
Ordering a 6 cell battery to replace the 3 cell one.

Graphics works at full resolution but no hardware acceleration as yet. Can boot to win 7 for YouTube or video playing.

Can recommend the em-350 as a useable netbook!

Cheers
