I have a work laptop and had just ordered a new Dell desktop for home. I didn't have any real "needs" for a netbook, but had plenty of "wants". I researched the HP 10', considered the Dell 8.9" and almost bought the Dell 12". I purchased my NC10 from Amazon about two weeks ago.
My "wants" included internet access, email & perhaps minimum word processing & spreadsheets. I wanted lots of hard drive space, minimum 1G ram. I also wanted the ability to access the internet while my husband tied up the desktop. The netbook would also be a great travel companion. While I play different games, I would not consider any netbook for any other than Solitaire, FreeCell or Bejeweled. The Samsung NC10 addressed all of my "wants". All of the positive reviews about the Samsung NC10 were on point. The touchpad is an issue, but that's quickly solved w/a wireless mouse.
Five ****** for the Samsung NC10
My first NC10 did have the dreaded "screen blotches". Amazon customer service was very impressive. Amazon advanced shipped a replacement, gave me an adjustment for price difference (the price had dropped within a few days of my purchase). Amazon also credited my one day shipping charge. I prayed that the replacement would not have the "screen blotches". The replacement is blotch free!
Five ***** for Amazon
As for Samsung, I looked for updates or alerts concerning the "screen blotch" issue on Samsung's website. There was nothing! Shame on Samsung! I registered both NC10's, which the site said were manufactured on 11/30/08. Samsung added an additional 3 months on the 1 year warranty.
Two ** stars for Samsung (for the additional months warranty).
