I want to get one in a few months but, there is a potential deal breaker. I want one to surf the net, and what I do on the net mostly, is play games on myspace, facebook, and freearcade, as well as watch netflix movies and shows. Would I be able to do those things with one of these netbooks? Also, would I be able to download stuff on it, like Maple Story?

Everything you wanna do as far as online games, facebook etc…will be fine. Since they don’t have a cd-rom drive, any software you want to having on there will have to be loaded via a usb drive using an ISO image of the cd. You then have to get a disk mounter program (free online) and mount the ISO and install it that way. It’s a pain at first but once you get the hang of it, it’s not a big deal.

You should be fine but remember that it’s not as powerful as a laptop and that with time software tends to need more resources from your computer, if in the future you want to play more advanced games you’ll have to buy another computer. Remember too that they have smaller screens and no DVD drive.
You should try it before you buy, if the seller doesn’t give you that possibility go to a store where you can try it.
