With the Samsung N110 (12PBK) ($470 street), the company has basically taken everything that's great about its original NC10-14GB 10-inch netbook, added a bigger battery, and renamed it. You can't even really call it an evolution because when a company launches a new model, the differences between it and the previous version should be more evident. Still, the N110 is a solid (albeit pricey) netbook that gives you a 93 percent keyboard and nearly 8 hours of battery life. If a better bargain is what you're after, however, the ASUS EeePC 1000HE is the ticket.
