Samsung NC10-14GB 10.2-Inch Blue Netbook - 6 Cell Battery Get it now!


This seems like the best Netbook, and the reasons are simple. I had a Lenovo S10 for a few days, but the Right shift key was not functional, and made typing impossible for me. The short battery life was no comparison to the NC10. I've used the black NC10 for a week now, and here are my thoughts.
3 best things about the NC10:

1) Best Keyboard. Nearly normal size, and just as important is that the Right shift key is nearly perfect.
2) Superb battery life. You can get 6-8 hours, which totally changes how and when you you can use this.
3) Bluetooth. Not as important as #'s 1 & 2, but a very nice feature to have.

I've read people complaining about the black glossy surface being a fingerprint magnet. Well, it is, but it's not that big of a deal to me. Wipes off easily if you're annoyed. All in all I think it looks very sleek.

The biggest downsides to me so far:
1) Internet (Firefox) seems sluggish. I've made some tweaks and it seems better, but still seems a little slow.
2) Touchpad. The vertical size doesn't bother me (after tweaking the settings). What I don't like is that it is at the same level as the surrounding palm rest area, and it feels exactly the same as the palm rest. With my Dell 700M, the touchpad is a little lower than surrounding area, and it's smoother, so I always know exactly where I am. With the NC10, I cannot tell where I am on the touchpad, or if I'm even on it, without looking down at it (I'm sure that's why they put arrows on the right side of the touchpad--so you can see where the edge of it is). This makes scrolling a challenge. Not a huge deal, but it is tricky.

All in all, this is a great machine. I think it can replace a regular notebook computer for nearly everyone except serious gamers or video editors. Bravo Samsung!Get more detail about Samsung NC10-14GB 10.2-Inch Blue Netbook - 6 Cell Battery.

Wow, I had the HP mini 1000 and I played with the Acer aspire one and I think that by far it beats them all after actually being able to use this netbook (it's not available in any US retail store) All I can say is that I'm very impressed. The battery life and 10 inch screen size is what made me give up my HP mini 1010nr. Ive had the nc10 for about a month and I can work on this netbook for at least 5 hrs before I start worrying about plugging it in. I got the nc10 for college, I didn't want to have to plug it in at all while I was at school and it allows me to do exactly that. The build quality is excellent and the screen is very bright and looks great. The only thing I found on it that bothers me a little bit is the fact that the bottom of the netbook creaks when you pick it up but big deal. I defiantly feel that it was worth the extra money compared to competitors. After getting the nc10 it defiantly makes me consider making my next new primary (bigger) notebook a Samsung.

After reading many reviews on Netbooks, I decided to go for it and purchased the Samsung NC10. All the reviews I read were fairly accurate. It is a great looking device, has a long battery life, and has a great keyboard (size, key layout, etc.). On the downside, which I've also read, the touchpad has less to desire, and I agree. Other things I'd gripe about would be the screen resolution and overall performance. Don't get me wrong...the screen is very good, I just wish I could view more on it. And I expected lower performance than a full blown Notebook, so the Netbook is not at fault.

Bottom line - I would recommend the NC10 for someone in the market for a Netbook. This is a great way to surf around the web, do light word processing, and bring around with when on the go. I would definitely not recommend this as being someone's primary computer. Get more detail about Samsung NC10-14GB 10.2-Inch Blue Netbook - 6 Cell Battery.
