I've played with the nc10 a few times and it's definitely one of the  
better netbooks - it also routinely gets 6 hours of battery life in  
benchmark tests which makes the extra pennies worthwhile. It's also  
one of the few netbooks that supports OS X well (okay, so maybe not a  
concern for most people but still nice to know lol).

On the other hand my stepson swears by his HP 2133 which has a far  
denser screen (1280x768). Mind you I think he bought it as much for  
the padlock subsystem in the VIA C-7 processor as anything else - he  
is somewhat a security-obsessive...
