That depends on what you're intending on using it for. They are called 'netbooks' because they are designed exclusively for surfing the net, and very little else. They will be fine for that. They are just ok for office work, Word etc. If you try editing graphics, playing games, or working with databases you're going to have a very painful experience.
Remember they are firmly targeted at the ultra-mobile market, for light internet / photo management / IM / blogging type stuff, if that's the category you fall under then you'll be fine. Before you invest in a computer you need to be clear on how you'll be using it and what you'll be using it for.
