Re: Why the price difference - 2 laptops The other big difference is the keyboard.
The keyboard on the Acer, like most 9" units, is too small in my opinion for any kind of serious typing. The touchpad buttons are also laid out on the sides instead of below the pad area. On the other hand, the Samsung NC10 has one of the best netbook keyboards in terms of size and tactile feedback.
If you're interested in the 10" units, also look at the 1000HE and 1008HA from Asus. Those two are serious competitors in the 10" category. |

| IMHO, the battery is a big difference, and the 1.3" screen difference is actually somewhat significant at that small size, much more so than a 14.1" screen vs. 15.4" screen for example.
The keyboard layout is nicer than on the Acer.
Also, Samsung will generally be a bit pricier than Acer...
However, they are both good netbooks, and I think that the Acer is really quite decent, especially at the price.
