HI Andy. Looking through the recently posted list email from James, I saw your request for info about the Samsung netbook which I own. Firstly, the Asus although cheaper and with an internal solid state drive might be smaller, the Samsung is more like a smaller laptop. It has a 160GB hard drive, suitable for storing larger amounts of files and making it more feasible for multimedia applications like cd burning, playing games and dvd watching etc. It also features Bluetooth and wireless, the only netbook in the range at the moment to have both technologies. Other than this, it has a card reader, 3 USB ports, high quality sound and also comes with a firewire port and VGA connection should you want to connect the netbook to a TV or external monitor which could be useful if your partially sighted what with the screen only being 10 inches. I hope this helps you and feel free to email off list at ibrahim_gucukoglu@xxxxxxxx if you feel you need further details.
