ION versus Atom N450:

I'm sorry, I know most of you have hashed out this debate many months ago, and I wasn't paying attention because I thought that by the time I'd need another netbook-like device, the computer industry would be entirely different. Last week, however, I lost my netbook and I need a replacement.

While i mostly need a netbook for taking notes in class, I have found myself wanting to watch a few streaming videos on the web and my old Dell Mini offered a terrible experience. With that said, I know that N450 netbooks are supposed to offer a better video watching experience. I also know that some netbooks with Nvidia IONs offer a better video watching experience as well. But which one is known to be best between the 2?

Finally, I am extremely limited to spending under $400. As a matter of fact, the closer to $300 the better.

Thanks!
