to the best of my knowledge, all netbooks are basically the same under the hood, save for a few 'shiny bits' which that particular oem has chosen to put in, i.e, bluetooth, 3g, wi-fi etc...
but they all run on a very similar spec (1gb ram, 1.6ghz processor - some are 1.3, but meh) with the OS choice being XP sp3 or 7 home starter, so just pick one you like the look of and buy 2.
simples
EDIT:
obviously HDD space comes into the cost, but i'm yet to see one rocking the ion graphics card, my nettop (used as media center/server) has one of those, and apart from that is identical in spec to my wifes netbook - both run win 7 home premium
