Sounds like a bargain. What distro are you putting on it?<br><br>paul<br><br><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Mon, 9 Nov 2009 09:22:50 +0000<br>From: thomas@thomasprophett.co.uk<br>To: chester@mailman.lug.org.uk<br>Subject: Re: [Chester LUG] Netbook Suggestions<br><br>Hi,<br><br>Please let us know how you get on with the Samsung N130.

<blockquote class="ecxgmail_quote" style="padding-left: 1ex;">Hi All --<br>
<br>
Thanks for the advice & suggestions, they were much appreciated.<br>
Nipped in to Currys or whatever and tried a few out and it is a bloody close<br>
call. It seems that each one has had some niggle with Linux (function buttons,<br>
a particular distro not liking wireless but another does etc.) so I've gone<br>
down to gut feeling.<br>
<br>
- Agree that the Asus keyboards are too fiddly & with Paul that the extra inch<br>
on the screen and thus chassis, keyboard makes a big difference. (No jokes<br>
please.)<br>
- Les, haven't seen the Tosh with a good enough price tag tbh. With them all<br>
being damn close it's the only thing going against it from the looks of it!<br>
- Phil, something just wasn't right with the Mini 10, wasn't feeling it. Not<br>
a great deal either. Thanks for the text though, appreciated.<br>
- A few of the LivLUG bunch recommend an NC10. The keyboard was very usable<br>
but the mouse-pad was a bit wee. Must admit I've had recommendations of these<br>
for a while now.<br>
- I've done a little looking and found a Samsung N130, a couple of models up<br>
from the more popular NC10. The mouse-pad is improved, 6-cell battery and a<br>
few bits and pieces are one step up than others. To top it, £230 delivered: I<br>
can't really fault it.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
