As I said before, I bought my Samsung NC10 before the EeePC HE1000 came out but I am not sorry. It has a battery which lasts about 6 hours on ordinary tasks and that is more than enough for me. I use the Logitech Bluetooth mouse with it. That way it does not take up a USB slot and has nothing sticking out of the side. It is also about a hundred grams lighter than the HE1000 and slightly smaller. Here is a good site for more info on the Samsung:
