So, im abroad right now and planning on buying a netbook when i get back to korea, or possibly before that. Ive narrowed my decision down to three choices:

Samsung N110
Samsung N120
Asus PC 1000HE

I need some advice on this decision cause Im a very indecisive guy. the reason Im leaning towards the samsung is because of any A/S worries I might have would (maybe) be dealt with easier being in korea.

from what Ive read the asus is a superior machine though.

also, being abroad has made it rather difficlut to search the korean websites for pricing info. what can I expect to pay for each?

I think this is a simple request and would prefer if people would stick to advice on these three machines.

any advice is greatly appreciated.

cheers

Looks like the Samsun N110 is around 520, the Asus 540, and the N120 about 600.

As for which one, you really need to get to a shop that has all of them and hold them, feel them, just see how they make you feel. I would tend to agree with you about the Samsung A/S though. The A/S centers are everywhere and pretty fast. That alone would almost make me look at the Samsungs.

If you live in Seoul then there must be an ASUS A/S place or two around.

�Well the votes are in and, there you have it folks, the ASUS EeePC[sic] 1000HE is our winner! � The 1000HE is cheaper and lasts more than a whooping hour longer on a charge. Congrats to ASUS on the win. They were the netbook orginators[sic] and, despite loads of competition, it looks like they�re still on top.� - LAPTOP magazine.
