I checked out the Samsung NC10, the Lenovo Ideapad S10 and the Acer Aspire One I Croma Bangalore yesterday(The outlet did not seem as good as other Croma outlets in other cities in terms of pricing. That's Bangalore for you. Everything is overpriced.)
In terms of exterior looks, the Acer Aspire One was the best, the Samsung came 2nd, the Lenovo exterior was a bit of a disappointment and not what I'd thought it would be.
The plastic screen border is too thick on the Aspire One. It's just right on the S10. (I forgot about the NC10.)
In terms of keyboard, I liked the typing on the Aspire One. The depth and response felt right. The Samsung NC10 came in 2nd and the Lenovo 3rd. I did not feel that the keypresses on the Lenovo were deep enough.
The trackpad seemed ok to use on all three netbooks. The left and right click trackpad buttons were horrible on the Aspire One. The S10 and NC10 faired almost equally. I liked the seperate metal buttons on the S10 but a little easier to press would've been better. The NC10 has a single trackpad button that registers both left and right clicks depending on which extremity you press. It was easy to press but felt a little flimsy.
All in all, the NC10 seems to be the ok model to choose if you want the proper balance of quirks. There is nothing special or eye catching about it but it seems like a sensible purchase to one who really wants it.
The Aspire One is the netbook to choose if looks are important. The really horrible part about this netbook is the trackpad buttons but the rest seems ok.
I wish there was a netbook with the exterior looks of the Aspire One, the keyboard and layout of the NC10, the screen border and trackpad click buttons of the S10.

You seem to be misinformed. The VX800 is actually better than the VX855, which is merely a stripped down low end version of the VX800. The 855 does not have any native SATA or video support, nor does it have any PCIe lanes. The VX800 supports all three functions. So the VX800 > VX855.
U225 is the processor, VX800 is the chipset.
The Samsung NC20 uses the VX800 chipset and is available right now, so there's no need to wait for an inferior solution.
What I'm waiting for is nvidia's Ion2 + a high clocked Nano or Atom that will beat any chipset+processor currently available. That's when I'll sell my NC10SE.

You might be better off waiting for the ASUS 1004DN with an optical drive.
ASUS to cause mass netbook hysteria next month by including optical drives

hey, any idea when itll be comming to india? or will it be a worldwide release??
neway i hope the prices isnt ridiculous.
I mean... why bother with the current Gen Intel Atom and netbooks based on them ?..........
1> Intel is comming out with a 2 GHZ Atom Chip
2> As pointed out by someone - the manufacturers are planning to include Optical drives
3> SSD prices are going to CRASH .... very soon
4> ....last but no least...... the Windows 7 factor...... (I am sure its going to be a lot less resource hungry than Vista..... giving it a real chance to feature on netbooks....esp ones with 2 Ghz Atoms)
Any thoughts .... boys?
