I've been eyeing up a Samsung NC10 for a long time now, I've recommended them to people
and all i've heard back is good words. At the moment i've got a EeePC 701, dirty cheap
now but the screen is a little small for regular use. Maybe one of the new 1000 series
would be a good pick if you want to go down the EeePC route.
