When a device specifies “up to X hours battery life,” does that mean adding together all the time that you have the device on and working? or does it mean the whole time the device is unplugged, even if it is turned off and stowed away? Makes a big difference, as I might have it with me for 10 hours but only using it for 2 or 3 hours total at most. Thanks!

I’ve got the Samsung NC10 and it does all I need it to do. If you want small you will have to get used to small screen and keybored, however I don’t think it’s that bad in size and the fact I now have a really small computer and a light one is fantastic. One note may I add, is that if you are wishing to use iTunes, please be warned you may need to get an external disc drive if you want to put your music cd’s on! But there come at good prices if you look hard enough. A small price to pay to do all I need it to. Netbook is a great intention! Cobyone

I am considering purchasing a NetBook fo my Mom and the LINUX is getting my atention due to simplicity (at least what I saw on the Aesus eeepc site).
I dont want to become her remote support tech with this purchase so I am looking for intuitive GUI and stability.

I will need to set her up with wifi at home, a printer for her emails and such along with a possible usb extra printer with bigger keys.

Any ideas or things to look for with these requirements ?

To buy the same notebook as your friend bought is not justified unless both of you have the same needs. Anyway, the range of notebooks available today is large enough to satisfy the most of the people. Actually, buying the desktop computer today is quite unnecessary, unless you have a special business needs.

Aint that sh1tty?
So what i consider is:
-looong battery life, like 10hours standart (hopefully arm and pixelqi are about to make it real!)
-10″ screen with 1280×800, not that unreal
-fast and lasting ssd, no less than 20Gb
-comfortable keyboard to type on
-faster than atoms/nanos in current netbooks
-price 200-300 usd.

I guess im in for some wait :)
