Samsung NC10-14GB 10.2-Inch Blue Netbook - 6 Cell Battery Review

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).

Samsung NC10-14GB 10.2-Inch Blue Netbook - 6 Cell Battery Best Quality

I got the white one primarily to take notes on in college, but lately I have found myself using my larger laptop less and less. I chose the white one because the coloring is matte and not glossy, I do not like fingerprints all over my gadgets, one of the reasons I won't get the new 120GB Zune.

PROS:
- This netbook is fast! It has enough power to handle multiple applications open at once without a hiccup, I even installed Windows 7 Beta on it.
- The battery lasts over 6 hours! This is the primary reason I got the NC10.
- 3 USB ports. It's more than the MacBook Air! (OK that was a cheap jab, but it's still true.)
- Matte screen. I don't see the fascination with glossy screens, matte screens FTW!

CONS:
- The touchpad is really small, almost unusable. I got the Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse 5000 to remedy this. I do recommend this mouse, currently $34 here on Amazon.
- Only one mouse button. Yes, it does register both keys separately unlike the one button Macs, but I still prefer two separate keys.
- It has no optical drive. OK I am reaching here, I knew it didn't have one, and since I have a 16GB flash drive, I don't need one. It should be noted that the MacBook Air doesn't have one either.

The pros FAR outweigh the cons, this netbook is UBER AWESOME! BUY NOW!
