    Is this true? Because I am looking to buy the NC10, because of its prolonged battery life but are there any other laptops/netbooks that are worth buying?

    Samsung N110 and Asus 1005HA get better batter life than NC10 too. A lot depends on the battery capacity though.

    After I disabled chiral scrolling, horizontal scrolling and put the pointer speed to max I did not mind the trackpad anymore.

    Toshiba seems like a cheap company to me.

    Wow, an Editors choice? They are normally picky about that. This notebook has a great keyboard layout.
