I agree with techie. Ever since I bought my Eee 1000H I have hardly used my Dell or ThinkPad to be honest. It's better than most UMPCs, including those with hefty price tags on them, and very much usable. Not to mention it doesn't cost an arm and a leg to begin with.
I rate it higher than some of the ThinkPad X-series models available.
NC-10 would score more if it came with:
1. Draft-N wifi
2. Multitouch touchpad. A trackpoint would please me extremely.
3. backlit keyboard
4. A touchscreen, and
5. Via Nano (with 64-bit support), or NVIDIA Ion
Only these additional features can justify the cost overhead, bar none.
