    I was wondering if the only two options for a screen resolution was 800X600 and 1024X600?

    I would really like to be able to fit more on the screen.

    Thanks

    This is where you see the benefit of the NC20's 1280 x 800 screen.

    Basically, with the NC10 (and most other netbooks) you are stuck with the 1024 x 600 resolution. This limitation was a requirement to buy a cheap version of Windows XP.

    Or get a different netbook like a Dell Mini that has a 1366x768 option while keeping the smaller form factor.

    Samsung also offer the N510 and X120 which have <12" 1366 x 768 screens.
