The form factor and weight of a netbook lends itself to all sorts of applications. Digital photography is among them. If you want to take several hundred photos and be able to upload them, email them, or edit them on the go using a netbook may be the perfect answer with some netbook being equipped with 80+ GB of hard drive storage space.
The decision and tradeoffs are clearly covered by Steve Ingraham.  With a detailed post that would give most bloggers a nervous fit hoping Steve doesn’t decide to blog …

LaptopMag got their hands on a Samsung NC10.  After testing the battery, they found that the battery lasts more than 5 hours which is unheard of with almost any other netbook.
By making some subtle changes (i.e using a state-of-the-art SSD drive) they were able to almost squeeze 8 hours from the battery.
Samsung appears to be serious about making big waves in the US PC market.  It’ll be interesting to see what other goodies Samsung has waiting.

Laptopmag received a Dell Mini 12 and decided to put it through some tests and find out what was so good about a 12″ netbook.  The verdict isn’t as good as you’d like it to be.
On the positive side, with a larger screen you have space to surf the web, read email and all of the other great things you’ll be doing with your netbook.  Instead of the usual 1024 x 600 resolution, you’ll be browsing at 1280 x 800.  As you’d imagine it’s thin and light.  Maybe not Apple …

Nope, we didn’t do it.  Actually the good people over at Engadget did.  They were able to get their hands on an HP Mini 1000 to give you their honest feelings about it.
It definitely looks sexy, but the 3 cell battery and Linux operating system shouldn’t be taken lightly.  With the Mini 1000 starting at $379, you should consider the Acer Aspire One which comes with Windows XP and a 6 cell battery for around the same price.

A cool review.
