      Personally, I would love a Sony Vaio P !!

      But they're just a bit too expensive! And more a laptop than a netbook.

        Yeah, the NC10 is nice, but build quality is not as good as Acer and specially Dell, the Sony VAIO P is not on my list, because of bad performance and crazy high resolution, who needs 1600 pixels on a 8" screen ?

          I've been very impressed by the Dell Mini 9.

            Don't know how many service places you guys have for Dell computers but here in Australia there is only 1 and that is in Sydney, Australia.

              I just think 8,9" screen is too small, I would prefer a 10" screen.

                How's the diagonal 1,1 inch difference making a difference? (curious question)

                  Actually not much difference, but with 10 inches you are getting bigger keyboard.
                  I can't work from EEE 8.9", it is like toy keyboard. But there are some 8.9" models with 10" body, this keyboard will be fine.

                    I have an ASUS Eee PC 1000 BK002. Love it The one thing I will say about the EEE's is they have have dozens of models which makes it extremely confusing to choose. They should have base models, and not introduce a new model # to distinguish between XP and Linux flavours, or colours.

                        The Samsung NC10 has the largest keyboard of all the Note book's of it's size. It also got a big thumbs up on TV.... even on build quality.

                            I have a Dell Vostro A90 and a Mini 10. I like them both, but, prefer the Vostro.
