Netbooks started off so small they felt like toy notebooks designed for hobbits. The trend now is to up the size to 12 inches. I’d recommend you  read this post to have a quick look at all the available 12” netbooks.

“But there is one thing that makes the Samsung NC20 unique, and that is its processor. While most netbooks use the Atom processor to achieve maximum PowerBook G4 15inch battery life, the Samsung NC20 has the heart of a Via Nano. It is the first product using VIA's Nano processor to come to North America, and the results are promising. The Samsung is generally quicker than an Eee PC, although it is still well behind the performance a more traditional notebook can claim.”
