just answered a few questions for a friend, thought it might be useful info...

 

NC10 Vs. X60

I like the option for the samsung personally as the price is around £310 which is pretty good at the moment:

Another very good option would be a small thinkpad which you can get second hand or refurbed from ebay quite cheap:

The thinkpad is robust and most of the components are working without too many issues.

 

If you want value go for the thinkpad, if you want to sort it out nice and quick go for the samsung.

 

Other small factor to bear in mind are that you will have firewire on the thinkpad, not on the samsung although you might be able to get a little thingy that would give you a firewire port. The samsung will have a built in webcam, thinkpad doesn't. The thinkpads will perform better than the the samsung but the samsung will have almost triple the battery life (5 - 7 hours).

 

...oh and the thinkpad will be heavier
