After my (brilliant) Samsung NC10 was stolen, I got an Asus Eee PC 1001PX. It's OK, but I preferred my old Samsung. One problem is that it only came with a 3-cell battery, so the battery life is pretty poor. Replacement batteries are expensive enough to make it not really worth bothering.

I just wish that netbooks had improved over the last 3 years. The CPUs have got a little bit quicker (but not much). There's been no increase in RAM capacity, and the screen resolution is still terrible, unless you replace the panel. While I want an Ultrabook, I don't have a grand to spend on one.

Er, bearing in mind that this is you saying this, Mark, how easy is the replacement for us soldering-inept mortals?
