Hey,

Has anyone got experience of netbooks here? I'm looking to buy one and was thinking about the Samsung N120, although they seem to have an N130 and N140 out now that look the same in terms of spec! So confusing!

Also, I think Sony have one out now?

Any help appreciated.

In my opinion Asus and Samsung are two notebooks that I would consider If I were buying one, having said that, the one from Lenovo is also very tempting. I would suggest try them out in store before committing to one. I would consider a good memory stick of at least 16 or 32 GB for backups as well for critical data. Sandisk would be my obvious choice for that.

err, what's in a name ... notebook & netbook ... there is a difference, technically.

Netbook = to browse the internet, listen to music, social networking etc

Notebook = doing all of above plus taking notes and burning discs,

Does that mean you used the wrong term in your first post Quad and you actually meant that the Samsung NETBOOK was good??

Sorry for the confusion, I actually was referring to the netbook in my first post but by mistake indicated notebook.

I asked the same question back in January and came to the conclusion that were I in the market for a Netbook I'd go for the Samsung NC-10 Review here

But I don't need one so I didn't get one.

The Samsung does seem to be the market leader and also comes in a variety of colours.

Just like Flops I had also considered the Samsung NC-10 at one time, if I too were in the market I would have picked the NC-10, excellent machine.
