TrustedReivews‘ comment:
Verdict

This is a well considered and classy step-forward from its predecessor. While the Q310 was overly flashy and slightly gaudy, the Q320 is more restrained and offers a look and feel that surpasses its affordable price. This view can be applied to its feature set and performance as well, making this a stonking bargain that’s perfect for anyone who needs a little portability without sacrificing performance.

Verdict

Despite not adding a great deal over the NC10, the N110 is still an outstanding netbook provided you don’t care about mooted extras such as video decoding. Thus, once the NC10 is inevitably discontinued, the N110 is one netbook that should be on most people’s lists
