Another vote (well 10 actually) for the Samsung NC10. Just took delivery of another 10 now holding a stock of 25 ( @ work). Are they that good, we think so.

I've got a Samsung N110 recently. its the upgrade from the NC10 with slightly longer battery life.
Can be had from Dixons for £330ish if you use the readily available discount code

I had an 701 EEE and it was superb, it took 2 years of abuse and was like new when I sold it. If it'd have had a bigger screen and then I would have kept it.
Constantly shifting to view full webpages drove me crackers, I gave in and bought the Samsung NC10, If the shifting doesn't bother you then an EEE in excellent used condition can be had for £100 and that is great value.

I have an EeePC 701 but when I cycled across France recently I took my newly acquired iPod touch (similar to an iPhone, without the phone). In spite of my prejudice against anything beginning with "i" it worked so well that I have started taking it with me on business trips instead of my full-sized notebook. Believe it or not, I actually find it easier than the EeePC to use with LogMeIn when remotely accessing my PC at home.
If you can afford an iPhone 3Gs, you will have phone, GPS, camera and computer all-in-one, and in a very rugged and compact form. Ideal for cycle touring.

I love my iTouch but it's a b*stard to type anything beyond a couple of words - though landscape mode may make it a bit easier (maybe I've got stumpy fingers). Also it doesn't have an SD card slot which is a disadvantage if you want to edit/download photos.
Now if only the rumours about an iTouch with a bigger screen were true...

Working for the local college I've purchased 100's of EEE Pc's and Acer Apire one's over the last year or so.
Both are pretty good and good value for money. The Acer's will even run Mac OSX (if you swap the internal WiFi card for a Dell one @5.99).
BTW Jay, the replacement screen is only £45 and pretty easy to replace.

Anybody tried out the new Asus Seashell ?
I need to buy a netbook and it's between that & the NC10.

If you haven't seen it yet there's a useful review here:

Sounds like a nice machine for home use etc but maybe too nice for cycle touring?

I just bought the Samsung N110 and I am very happy with it. The battery lasts for ever and the specs are more than enought for a netbook.
I am using it for my visit in Berlin at the moment, but I am planning to take it on my long touring as well. I am sure I will regret carrying this extra kilo and a half sometime while going uphills, but I thought that's one of the things I dont want to miss about home.
On a similar topic, is wifi poppular in the countryside of France? I am not expecting to find any in the middle of nowhere, but what about cafes, camp sites and restaurant in villages etc?

I went to the south in May and 2 of the 5 nights camping had wifi, and in both cases very cheap (or free) - see here www.crazyguyonabike.com/doc/france2009

I still use an old Fuji Lifebook P-1030 they are old but still the smallest and lightest around. 8" touch screen makes it a breeze to use especially if you use it for photos, videos, and a MP3 music jukebox and chess as I do.
Pick them up for less than £100
