What brands are considered to be the best laptops?

Notable NotebooksIn Consumer Reports Magazine of June 2010, the top five netbooks are the following:

Acer Aspire one (I own this)

Toshiba Mini

Samsung NP-N150-JA03US

Samsung N110-12PBK

Gateway LT2104u

Please note that there are more netbook computers now on the market and that Consumer Reports probably doesn't have the exact same opinion as you do. Also, you may have specific needs for your laptop, such as a larger screen or long-lasting battery, which are not as emphasized in this rating as they are to you. I recommend checking a few out at Best Buy, borrowing some of your friends', and/or buying this magazine to help you choose which netbook computer is best for you and your needs.
