I was without my netbook 10 days or so. The bad news is my display developed a defect. The good news is that Samsung fixed it promptly and free of charge.
Once you go with a netbook you’ll have a tough time going back. Using my wife and son’s Macs in the meantime was brutal. They seemed to have doubled in weight.
Don’t fear the loss of the CD/DVD drives with the netbook. I haven’t missed them yet. OK, I’m not a big movie watcher.
