I think it is a bit cumbersome to compare the items. Right now, it's browse -> manufacturer -> netbook -> click compare, and then you cycle that for each netbook.
A filter on the browse page to browse by predefined categories, such as screen size/price point would help as well as being able to select an item to compare from the list view, without clicking through to the details view.
