Hi, I'd like to know your suggestion, please.
I'd like to buy a small noteboook or an eeePC and I will use it only
for traveling. I like a 9" monitor for its compactness but I am afraid
it will give me more side effects than a 10" notebook (on the sight).
What is your opnion, please?

What is important for travelling notebook IMO, are:
1) does it have good battery life for long haul flight? say around
8 hours? 2) is the LCD screen is comfortable to view for long
periods of time and are your eyes used to it?
Will it fit the cramped plane furniture,? Does it not give you so
much burden carrying it along with the rest of your luggage?

A lot of people like the EEpc but , I find it too small and
underpowered for my taste and less suited for multitasking and
multimedia application.

I find my Linux EeePCs have a problem with multimedia applications
(needs more CPU horse power), but my Windows 2000/XP EeePCs are just
fine. Even full screen on an external monitor.

Say how do you single computer users put up with the limited
multitasking anyway? Back in the early days before the craze of
multitasking OS, we used multiple computers. I still continue this
practice even today.

Some people like to have multiple OS on a single computer. That means
you have to reboot to access the other one. Or run virtual machines
which eats up processor time. I believe this is insane. Use multiple
computers and this problem disappears.

One of them needs to reboot after an install, backup, or whatever... no
problem. You have multiple computers so it isn't an issue. And if one
has a hardware failure, again no problem. You have spares. See how this
works?

You actually use several computers simultaneously just to save
rebooting time?? Aren't you the guy who posted about just using 20
watts for your computing? Guess not anymore... ;)

Samsung NC-10, get the black one. The screen is totally NON GLARE and
can be turned up very bright with its Samsung display. Runs for hours
and Samsung has special software that comes on it for automatic upgrades
to drivers/etc. and professional online troubleshooting if you have a
problem. The inside plastic is FLAT black...never glares into your
eyes. I HATE glossy screens....how awful in an outdoor computer.

I've had many of them and this is my favorite. Take out one screw and
remove the bottom door. Pop out the 1GB 200 pin memory stick and
replace it with a 2GB that Microsoft forbade them to include as part of
the deal to put WinXP, not Vistacrap, on it. I paid $20 for 2GB from
buy.com. It's very easy to change.

Unlike the cheap EEE pcs, the Samsung has a bigger, easier typing
keyboard but a smaller touchtablet. But, the touchtablet is MULTITOUCH
very similar to iPhone and has a real scroll bar and nice feedback
button bar. Start scrolling on the scroll bar, keep your finger on it
and scroll right into the main tablet in a circle to scroll the whole
screen, no matter how long it is! Spread fingers to magnify, Squeeze to
zoom back out...on any browser.

Under $400 on the net from several places...

The speakers in the NC10 are just AWFUL! Bluetooth headphones or wired
phones are best....or powered external speakers if you want to play to a
group. Don't plan on listening to the horrible speakers in it.
Yecch...it's only real fault.

160GB is standard, as is the 6-cell extended battery pack, now...not
optional for more money.

Hi AJL! You forget that each EeePC 700 series only uses 10 watts a
piece. So if I am just running two of them, I'm only running 20 watts of
power. Right now I am at the lake, with just one EeePC. :P

Geeese, what a power hog, I'm
Running less than a tenth of
your power right now... ;-)

Side effects? No; it has the same resolution. It will just be smaller.
But not much (1" diagonal)

Larry, Samsung NC-10 is a very interesting netbook but it is not thin,
it is thicker than many others.

No, it's just the absurdity of it. Thin = WEAK....bends and breaks
easily. Thin computers must leave out JACKS to plug things into like
memory sticks, disk drives, the touchscreen interface board that turned
my NC10 into a touch tablet...(c;]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2LVyjH0dEU

Got mine from Taiwan fast:
http://www.fidohub.com/buy3.php?no=89

No soldering at all, but installation isn't for people in a hurry. The
plug the screen plugs into will NOT feed through the right screen hinge
which requires disassembly and laying in the wires with TWO wifi coax
cables....not fun. Be VERY picky about sticking the touchscreen down to
the LCD screen. There is no fudge factor room for error. If anything,
stick it down a little low so you can click the tray buttons. A 25-
point precision screen calibration makes it perfect!

Works great with both WinXPSP3 and Ubuntu Linux...plug n play! $US96
and cheap shipping....

I always prefer to take with me during my trip my 17 VAIO AR or the
18.4 inch VAIO AW ( both with no Battery life at all!.)...<grin>
I just I like the large screen WUXGA LCD and better sounds when
viewing videos and DVDs from my portable PC ...in the comfort of my
hotel room.....

I have a Eeepc 702 and the 7 inch screen is too small.
I am getting too old to read small stuff anymore (age 73).

I just bought a Eeepc 1000he, I love the 10 inch screen.
