Considering the Dell mini 12 and the Samsung NC20, happy to hear
alternatives. From what I've read, neither seems perfect. The Samsung
seems to be using via/chrome/etc. stuff that I've had trouble with in
the past, but maybe it's finally ok now?

This will be a first computer for a relative. They've checked some out
in store and prefer the 12" netbook style to anything else. 10" too
small, full blown laptops too bulky/heavy.

Desirable:
* Divx Playback
* Good battery life

Essential:
* Suspend/resume to ram on lid close works perfectly
* Suspend to disk on low battery (even if in suspend to RAM state).

~$1,000 or less.

Cheers,

Ben Sand
