In the mood for a netbook, are we? We've recently been hepped to reviews of two of Sammy's latest, and thought you might wanna take a look. The 10.1-inch, 2.8-pound N120 "isn't the smallest or lightest," according to Liliputing, but it is thin, light, and it does have some of the "best sounding speakers" the reviewer has ever heard on such a beast (though your mileage may vary). Battery life is described as "excellent," and the touchpad? "A step up" from the NC10, apparently. On the other hand, you are going to pay a bit more (like, somewhere near $50 more) than a similarly kitted Eee PC 1000HE. And how about that N310? That depends -- is $479 too much for one of the most "attractive and compact" 10-inchers on the market? For $10 less, Laptop points out, you can get double the battery life in the form of the (admittedly rather rough 'round the edges) Samsung N110. But "if style is at the top of your mobile computing list," the the reviewer continues, this guy is worth a look. And that isn't the half of it -- peep the links below for the full, unexpurgated reviews.

"What -- Me Worry?"
Can't they make an 11" Ion Netbook with a DVD drive for $300-$400 already? The wait is giving me a headache!
A year ago i thought
"Yeah i have a desktop, and a nice laptop, but sometimes i wish i had a little tiny laptop that cost next to nothing and was really portable"
Then i thought
"Hmm i dont like the eeepc designs, they look kind of tacky, they wont catch on"
then i thought
"oh ok, now the market is oversaturated, ill wait until the next generation come"
then i thought
"Oh, so the next generation only meant slightly bigger screens... cool"
now i think
"now that windows is dominant, and the screens are too big, they are too expensive"
If you liked these thoughts, you can subscribe to my twitter feed for ony $23.52 every 13 seconds for the first 177 seconds, then $23.52 for the following 13 seconds.
I want those 13 seconds of my life back.
then cough up
Hey your first name and last initial are pronounced like LED!!!!!!!!
My initials spell GOD if that makes you happy
I always thought that the HP mini 2133/2140 were the best looking netbooks
Now looks like everyone is copying them (Dell inspiron 10, Eee, MSI, forgot the exact model number)
The HP mini 2140 is the best looking netbook hands down... but unfortunatly it costs a little over 1k US to get the configuration I want so I'm actually leaning more towards the Vaio P 1.86 model.
For the standard netbook fare, I'll pass. I mean shit, buy.com has refurbed eee901's for $169 plus shipping.
My bad, 900A's.. but still
"kitted?"
Did you mean "equipped?"
Told you this netbook's pretty but all I heard from you people is how ugly it was.
Cover the all but the very bottom inch of the picture. What do you see?
OmGGzzz!!!!!!!!!!1 iPhonesZZ!! 1st gen!1
I never thought XP would look so outdated after using 7 for such a short time :P
Yeah but did you see this pic of the N310? Did they seriously hire these models? I hope this is photoshop'd.

LOOK, IT'S WALTER KOVAKS.
My wife's NC10 is an awesome netbook; hell, it's nearly a laptop. The thing is, the battery life is insane - you never turn it off; it just stays in standby all the time. Screen is nice too. I can only hope that these fix the NC10's minor flaws (touchpad size, sound) as these models supposedly do. If so - I am in for one.
Holy bezels.
