Here here Jackie Eleanor but mine is white -original message- Subject: [access-uk] Re: Netbooks From: "Jackie Cairns" <jackie.cairns@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: 03/01/2009 5:52 pm Hi Andy The current range of Netbooks appears to be similar, with a few for and against points, depending on your point of view. I went for the Samsung because I liked the keyboard that bit better than the rest, and found the Asus a bit too cramped in that regard. Briefly, and without boring others silly with this, the NC10 has Windows XP, 1GB of RAM which is upgradable to 2GB, a 160GB hard drive, which is partitioned, three USB 2.0 ports and a VGA port, WiFI, Bluetooth, ethernet connectivity, microphone and headphone sockets, built-in webcam, card reader that I believe supports SD and MMC cards, a six-cell battery which has a life easily going to seven hours, and runs at 1.6MHZ I believe. I've got JAWS, K1000, Open Book, MS Office Professional 2003, and a host of other stuff on there, and it runs beautifully with everything. I haven't encountered any stuttering or lagging, it's very impressive so far. I guess it depends what you want it for, but I'm quite happy to put it in a small bag and carry it over my shoulder without it hurting my back which, for me, is the main thing at the end of the day. These machines come in black, white and blue at least, and retail round about the £300 mark. The NC10 comes with two disks, a flimsy cover that I can only describe as an apology, mains charger and 12 month guarantee, though this may depend on where you buy it. Enjoy.
