Get either Samsung NC10 or NC20 (if you prefer 12 inch screens)! Amazing battery backup, nice performance, incredible keyboard. It has to be one of the best netbooks currently. Go check out different models in Croma/Vijay Sales and then decide.

HCL MiLeap Classmate is the cheapest @ 12.5K (incl taxes) with a 7" screen, 900MHz celeron, 30GB HDD, 512MB RAM, EDUBUNTU Linux, vga cam, onboard speakers and mic. It looks like a toy but is quite sturdy.

But IMO netbooks are quite overrated when it comes to their role as CHEAP laptops. They are good only if you want portability and don't need performance. Compared to 18K netbooks which litter the market, you might as well get a 20K full fledged laptop with over double CPU/GPU power, a much more viewable screen and a dvd writer.

@MGH I think netbook serves completely purpose. In fact sometime back I read it on one of the sites that 67% of the netbook buyers are existing laptop owners (will post the link once I find it). So obviously weight and formfactor plays an important role in buying decision. OSs are evolving themselves (e.g Moblin), performance/price is increasing, mobile operators are bundling netbooks so I guess there is lot action that we gonna see in this business!!!
