I have been researching netbooks for a few weeks trying to decide which one to go with. The feel of the keyboard was (at first) my most important decision point. I was originally attracted to the HP, Dell and Samsung. I was not able to find a local retailer for the Samsung, and decided early on that I would not buy one that I did not lay hands upon.
After spending time with almost all the models at Fry’s, Best Buy and Micro Center, I narrowed my choice down to the ASUS. Finally, last night I place the order … for the Samsung NC-10.
Why the Sammy? After narrowing down all the models I had physically touched and decided I would be happy with the ASUS, I did one last compare between it and Sammy. I think design won out over price. From what I hear, the keyboard experience is as good as the ASUS so I looked at other factors – Size, weight, disc space and style points. The Samsung won on all these.
Sammy arrives tomorrow from Amazon. (Sorry local retailers. I would have preferred to purchase at a brick and mortar but I could not find this product anywhere but online.) I will post a quick review soon after.
