Samsung N230 Slim and Asus Eee PC 1215N: 2 opposing netbooks join our product review today. On one side, the very essence of what a netbook is, light and compact, on the other a high-end multimedia model, almost an ultra-portable.

The Samsung N230 Slim represents perfectly what we're all looking for in a nebook. Very slim, it only weighs a kilo and has a matte panel!

Moving across, the Asus Eee PC 1215N, successor to the 1201N, has been designed for the multimedia netbook market. With its wide 12.1 inch screen and dual-core processor, it gives a certain ease-of-use. With the second version of the ION chipset, it promises previously unheard of video and 3D performance.
