    Meh - with netbooks, few stand out - most are too similar.
    Samsung NC10 - decent battery (6/7 hours), decent build quality, and decent benchmark score.
    Asus EeePC 1005HA - Better battery life, N280 chip - but suprisingly lower benchmark scores than Samsung's offerings. (Asus EeePC 1008HA = 6/7hrs battery, but nicer looking)

    All the reviews had the NC10 as the best netbook. You can still get it online on Amazon. Its successor is the N110.

    I got an NC10 a few weeks back from ebuyer. I've thrawled the internet reading reviews about all the different ones and the NC10 seemed to come out the winner. Komplett.ie still seem to have a couple as do numerous shops around the country including PC World in Naas. As far as I know the newer version the N130 i think it is only has mono speakers which is a bit of a downer.

    If you can get one, the NC10 is deffo the business for under €350!
