a) Great database, thanks!

b) Everyone has their peeves / predilections, I realize: with netbooks, one of my biggest concerns is the screen resolution (more so than the graphics chip, so long as it can, say, play decently with Ubuntu's stable of desktop effects).

I see that it's possible (with the “compare checked” feature) to see the resolution of each model, but since you're providing a cool free source of information and I'm complaining about it, I wonder if you could consider adding the resolution to the main chart as well, beneath (but in the same box as) the graphic chip listing: something like …

Intel GMA 950
(1024×768)

That resolution is one of the only reasons that the HP netbooks, despite their processor choice, have a slight draw for me — that resolution worked fine for me on my iBook for several years, whereas 1024×600 just seems cramped.
