ASUS Eee PC 1000HA 10-Inch Netbook (1.6 GHz Intel ATOM N270 Processor, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, 10 GB E-Storage, XP Home, 6 Cell Battery) Fine Ebony

I bought the Samsung NC-10 for my wife and the Eee PC 1000HA for myself so I'll compare:

Summary: you can't go wrong with either one.

PROS: I like the fact that the Asus keyboard is tilted towards you, makes typing more comfortable. Also the power cord on the Asus has an elbow plug, which makes it more space-efficient and comfortable. I like that the screen hinge on the Asus is stiffer, the Samsung feels like it's going to fly open or slam shut. Touchpad is less sensitive than the Samsung (good thing), Samsung gets a lot of accidental dragging of items.

CONS: The Samsung has better style and a better battery. Also the keyboard is bigger and feels like it's better quality. Also the international warranty and more international name recognition is important for me. Obviously it wins for bluetooth also although you definitely pay for it. Less smudgy than the Asus.

Remember that the Asus mouse buttons are designed to be clicked in front, not on top.

Bottom line, they're both great. We'll see how the next generation turns out.Get more detail about ASUS Eee PC 1000HA 10-Inch Netbook (1.6 GHz Intel ATOM N270 Processor, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, 10 GB E-Storage, XP Home, 6 Cell Battery) Fine Ebony.
