Hey I got lucky on Christmas day, after leading me up the garden path by asking me which netbook her friend should buy for her son in law, Sheila got it for me! - a Samsung NC10 and it's a real gem. She got me the blue one which is actually a mauve/blue color and looks really good, certainly a major change from the all those boringblack IBM ThinkPads that I'm used to. The keyboard is almost the same size as a standard laptop to it's dead easy to get to grips with, in fact I think I'm finding it slightly better as it has a really nice feel to it, and is very quiet - practically silent. It's taking me some time to get used to the wide screen and the trackpad which are both new to me but I'm getting used to both of them very quickly now.
The main thing I do love about it though is the fact it's so portable. It weighs next to nothing and fires up in a snap - it's an excellent machine and perfectly fits the bill, and the battery is lasting for ages - 6.5 hours so far and it says there is 50 minutes left! This netbook feels like the perfect machine to fill the gap between my iPod Touch and desktop PC.
