Hi.
So does the Samsung, the only possible advantage to buying an Asus over a
Samsung is that the Asus includes draft N wireless capability, doubling the
speed of standard wireless G which is 54MBPS. However, to use N draft
technology, you need a compatible router which supports it so unless you have
such a router, the benefit to you is unavailable. Also, most wireless
broadband providers go at less than 8 megs per second anyway and outdoor public
hotspots either use B or G technology, never to my knowledge N as their
internet speed doesn't warrant it.

Except that many of the Asuses including mine have wireless and Bluetooth.

Well said Ibrahim (as usual, your contributions are excellent and well
informed. What type of card can I use in the Samsung NC10? Could I purchase
it at Curry's?

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.
