thanks
But when will a major manufacture create a net book that doesn't look generic to all the others?
Agreed, most Netbooks look like toys, but HP already created a good looking one with the 2133.
Unfortunately the CPU is slow and the OS didn't actually work with the hardware (see http://venturecake.com/hp-2133-mini-note-broken-by-own-updates).
You mean like give it wheels? .....because that would be a wheelie-book, not a netbook.
I'm liking the look of this. How does this compare to the Toshiba that was just announced?

Judging from the photos, the Toshiba looks fantastic. I like it better than all the other netbook designs so far except that "light as a feather" EeePC.
And it looks like they got the keyboard right. Not too many of the extra, unnecessary keys you see on other netbooks, and the keys look big as a result. No messed up right shift key, either.
I'm sorry for being a troll :(
yay! thats the first step towards recovery!
The power of christ prevailed!
I want my netbooks sub 300$ No matter how shitty they are...
Does this look JUST like the EEE 900 or is it just me?
TBH every netbook looks the same lol
Knock off a $100 and I'd buy this thing next semester.
By next semester, it'll be $100 lower, and you'll say, "Knock off a $100 and I'd buy this thing next semester." Recurse.
If there isn't some massive evolution in the build of netbooks within the course of now and February (or a preview of say, a sub-$500 touchscreen netbook, sub-$450 dual-core atom) this will be my next purchase (assuming it falls a $100).
I've been looking for a netbook, and I see myself buying this one [next semester].

universal language of love?
no, binary
this macbook clone really needs an apple logo and osx to be perfect, for now ill just stick with my cheap macbook air netbook, this samsung sure is a lookerr it a shame about the samsungs high price
You're trying too hard. Time to give it up.
yah kuz apples are totally cheap right?
dang, that was directed at "OCEAN 'CLAK' NOW 20, SO HAPPY BEING AN EX ENGADGET EMPLOYEE" ... sorry
You can't reply to clak anymore, he's been fed too much.
@ kyle allen - yeah specs wise you get everything with an apple core 2 duo, high res screen osx, all connections so yeah the macbook airsgood value, if this machines half the price of the air then maybe this could be good
DO NOT reply to this guy. Quit being the typical geek and getting angry when someone has something wrong. Let him go. He's just here to get you riled up.
Why people still pay attention to Clak, I'll never know.
course i could get everything i need with an apple. its just that i could get the same for half the price from anyone else
YAWN.....
I'm sitting here in front of my beloved MSI Wind (actually a Medion branded clone with some betterment over the original MSI) and I can't find any difference between it and this samsung. Everything down to the smallest detail is the same except for my mouse pad (made by Haptics) that appears of older design and much uglier in the Sammy, and possibly the screen hinges that in this picture samsung seem to have coloured gray and that luckily in my wind clone are as white as the rest of the machine.
This is the identical keyboard to the one on the Aspire One.
No it's not, but it's similar.
You can tell by the number of keys in the top row.
Well I'll be .. you're right, one less. Good eye.
Also, hopefully they'll keep the rectangular Enter key, even if they decide to sell it with a bilingual keyboad. The Aspire Ones in Canada have a bizarrely shaped upside-down Enter key and a \ key between it and the ' key. (As opposed to putting that key above the Enter key and beside the ] key.)
When will one of these companies put a dual-core processor in these netbooks?
When Intel releases dual-core processors for netbooks.
Intel has already announced that the Atom 330 is a dual core model. I would guess that as soon as Intel releases it to OEM's that you will see a wave of netbooks with the dual core Atom (along with the requisite price increase).
I suspect that dual core Atom netbooks will cannibalize most OEM's ultra-portable notebook lines. Why would anyone purchase an $800 - $1200 ultra portable with a 12" screen when you can get as much (if not more performance) out of a 10" dual core netbook that costs about $500?
Best netbook yet.
