Agreed. Love that little sucker of a netbook.

Decision is made - buy a Samsung NC10 and keep my desktop ^^

You sure you don't have anything better to spend that money on? Is moving around the house reeeealy worth the £300?

Not particularly when you could just shove all media onto a NAS and get at it anywhere on games consoles or other computers very cheaply or free.

No, but it could be my school work computer, and my desktop can be my 'gaming rig' :-)

I cant see how people are having problems with laptops, mine is over 2 years old now and it never overheats, works perfectly.

Intel Pentium Dual Core @ 1.73GHz
2GB RAM
Intel GMA 950 graphics

It can't play games that much but does what I need it to

Well, mine's only 3 months old, but it does get hot.

AMD Athlon QL-65 Dual Core
3Gb RAM
ATI Mobility HD 4530

You've got to remember as well, that if you get a laptop, the simplicity in upgrading your hardware is lost, and it's a hell of alot harder

It is harder, but for some things it isn't that much harder (RAM, HDD to a degree). I've never upgraded my dv6, but I did upgrade the RAM in my old Acer, and I found it quite easy. All I had to do was unscrew a flap, put a new stick in, and screw the flap back up again.

AMD CPUs run hotter than Intel CPUs, just thought I would throw that out there.
