Advantages: Full size keyboard, 10" screen, Bluetooth, charged battery lasts upto 7 hours

Disadvantages: the pink one is for girlies only!

If you are thinking of buying a netbook but are put off the NC10 because of price then I urge you to think again. I chose it over other netbooks for several reasons -

1. It has a full size keyboard. I had originally thought that I would be using my netbook for just surfing the net with a mouse. I was wrong because I also use it for doing my budgets and writing letters (dowloaded free openoffice software), keeping in contact with people over skype, writing reviews (like this one!) and I've also used it to access my works network so I can work from home!

2. The screen size (10" wide) is perfect and not too small to be squinting and small enough so I can pop the netbook on my lap while I lay on the settee. The screen is also well back-lit and can be used in the garden on a sunny day.

3. It has Bluetooth which for me is great as I take quite a few pictures on my mobile phone and can easily transfer them to the netbook. The hard drive is also a very good size (160gb) so it will store lots of photos and other files.

4. A fully charged battery can last upto 7 hours which is great for surfing in the garden or preventing the kids from tripping up on the power cord.

Those were the reasons I bought it but the NC10 also has other benefits (3 usb slots, sd card slot, camera) that will appeal to others and it also looks very nice too so you will be the envy of others too.

It isn't the cheapest netbook on the market but I truly beleive you pay for what you get and I dont regret paying that little bit extra for the NC10, well worth the money.

Summary: Buy a cheaper netbook and you'll wish you bought an NC10
