I've just bought a new netbook to replace my old laptop. The Samsung NC10 is one of the better models, but now obsolete, so I had to buy it 'as new' from a bloke on eBay. It's very good but I felt it necessary to upgrade the memory from 1Gb to 2Gb and I replaced the battery. The 3 cell effort supplied is good for about 2 to 3 hours, but the replacement is a 6 cell 7800mAH jobbie which will give me between 6 to 8 hours. It's added a bit of bulk and weight but I think it's worth it. It will be useful at Durham of course and I had this in mind when I bought it.
I used mine 'after hours' for blog postings, uploading photos to Facebook etc, but I did no work on it whilst I was there.
