Ion based 11.6" laptop.
This is the new Samsung N510, a laptop with a 11.6" screen capable of 1366x768, 1GB of RAM, 160GB HDD, Atom N270, 802.11n and HDMI + VGA connectors. This all weighs in just 1.4Kg. The inclusion of both VGA and HDMI connectors is perfect, since it allows the laptop to be connected to the usual projector and to be docked "decently" to a digital monitor - delivering the perfect picture that is expected nowadays and not the VGA supplied distorted signal. You know, VGA was great for analog devices, not LCDs.
Good news go just that far, the device is priced at 499eur, which is hefty for an Atom N270 based laptop which isn't even capable of running x86-64 code. The RAM is also on the low side and Samsung isn't known for highly durable devices.
Unfortunately, every single piece of Samsung hardware I've bought has broken down in a very short time frame. This includes DVD drives, CD drives, monitors(like all) and one LCD TV that was repaired 3 times in a month until it was exchanged for a Philips one.
I haven't owned any Samsung laptop(and given the track record I don't plan to) but I would like to hear your experience with them, leave me a comment below.

My r505 laptop is just about to be repaired for 3rd time in two months, it is rubbish
My samsung has developed a crack (has not been dropped). I have sent photos to Samsung and they say the crack will not be repaired under warranty. Quite a few people have complained about the hinges sticking and cracking as well.
Thank you both for your feedback. This is in line with my experiences with Samsung.
I would ask further comments to please include for how long have you had the device, both if you had problems or didn't had any(especially in this case).
