    I find it quite useful for Intel to have branded all their rubbish tat as 'Centrino'. Makes it much easier to avoid :thumbsup:

    Nice article. But I have just bought a Samsung NC10! I have had it a couple of days and It is brilliant. The only niggle I could have is that the sound isn't very loud but I suppose this has to be the norm for such a small portable. It is fine through earphones.
    I have transfered most of my stuff from the pc and I have set up a wireless network so at the moment I am pretty pleased with it. I also purchased a Logitech VX Nano mouse which has a tiny usb transmitter ideal for such a small portable. Now I can lie in bed and search the Internet laughing at the posts you guy's make. Brilliant.

    I'm sticking with my Eee901 because I like it.

    TBH, there's so little difference between netbooks. I stick with the Eee because it looks slick and has great battery life. Thats why the MSI lost out.

    If I was to get another, there's a Samsung/Toshiba I think it is which looks a lot like a macbook pro (a lot thinner then most netbooks) that I'd go for. But TBH, it doesn't need to be made any smaller.

    Need to upgrade my RAM though :-(
