Another NC10 owner here. I love mine, and use it far more frequently than I expected, because it's so comfortable to use. I sprung for the 2GB memory upgrade (about $20 from Newegg.)

The keyboard is nearly full size, but small enough to have a nearly normal layout. The concession they made was to put the home/end/pgup/pgdown keys on the arrow keys, requiring the Function key to make them work.

The trackpad is a little small, but it does have a scroll bar built in. I usually use a multi-button wireless mouse anyway.

Battery life is great.

Screen size is acceptable, and the screen is MATTE, not glossy, woohoo! (The color is tinted a little too much toward blue, though. Can't do any decent photo processing on it.)

And, for those of you who like to experiment, Windows 7 runs GREAT on it. Fast and stable.
