Which Samsung Netbook?

ImmuneData

There seems to be hundreds of these type of topics so I half-apologies but I would more-than-half like your opinion/help.

I've been offered some good but similar prices on a few models and was wondering if there is much difference between them and what the extra money goes towards.
My usage would be relatively light, no photoshop for example but I do often find myself with a few .pdfs open (in full acrobat) and a few browsers running with plenty of tabs open.

The prices for models are as follows:
NC10 - £195
N110 - £205
N120 - £225
N310 - £270
These are for the 6-cell versions (except N310 which is 4) and is direct from Samsung so I would guess they are the latest versions.

Many Thanks, ID

fiddiweb will be along soon to point you towards http://www.sammynetbook.com which has the full specs for each.

I think any of them will be able to handle your requirements.

I bought a NC10 yesterday for £285. Wish you had been here then!!

Have you used a netbook?

You might find juggling PDFs and multiple browsers (each with lots of tabs open) to be a bit of a PITA.

As for the differences between the models, it should be relatively easy to look up the specs.

How do you buy direct from Samsung? I went to their website at samsung.co.uk but no option to buy.

As the previous poster said - where are those prices from? (And do they include VAT?)

I've checked out the specs and they all seem incredibly similar which is why I was fishing for some anecdotal experience perhaps as I'll probably just go for the cheapest model otherwise!
Thanks for the replies so far, KingL, I hope you enjoy the new machine - I'll likely join the club in not too a distant future.
Marty, I suppose I haven't tried a sustained period of tabbed browsing but I will just have to make do as I do need the ultra-portability offered.
Lee, the reason for the decent pricing is because it's part of an academia buying scheme, details at https://www.samsung.com/hk/hku if you are interested.

Those prices are very, very cheap?

So are you buying direct from Hong Kong? If so look out for the VAT and import duty you could get clobbered with...

The n310 was £289 at ebuyer, might be worth waiting for a deal again! Currently £319 at play.

ACH, I'm in HK at the minute and it will be in a thoroughly used condition when I bring it back to the UK so I'm hoping/presuming that will be fine.
Jaydee, is the NC310 any different to the NC10 really though!?
In this instance I don't really see how they justify the extra £75 (40% !) price tag although the £289/£319 price is close to the NC10 price paid by KL...
