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

I'm very impressed with the NC-10. Set-up was easy. Got my Skype and Roboform loaded and up-graded the software and I was off to the races.
The blue color is very appealing and the size is perfect for a lap and easy chair. Battery life is impressive and it runs cool -- no hot thighs.
It's also very quiet and the large keyboard is a nice break from my iPhone.
The response is also a surprise - quick boot-up and strong WiFi connection.
If you're looking for a portable internet connection, this is your ticket.
Oh yes, 160GB give you a very nice closet. 1GB of RAM, $20 will get you 2. Highly Recommend.
Got my Kindle, iPhone and Sammy. All is well.Get more detail about Samsung NC10-14GB 10.2-Inch Blue Netbook - 6 Cell Battery.

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

I purchased this capable, small netbook about a month ago--for travel, and as an "extra" computer for times when my wife and I are both in need of a computer at the same time. Since then I've used it daily.

One of my main concerns was ergonomic: would the keyboard feel familiar to me (I'm a fast touch typist). I find the keyboard to be comfortable, and as fast as I need. I like having a little cluster (lower right side) of arrow keys, as well as page up/ page down.

The screen, though just 10", is very, very bright, with excellent resolution--I used it mostly outdoors on my trip--and it's easy to work with, even on a bright day. I can't judge the processor speed (I'm not technical) but we watched video of the inauguration on it (no English coverage where we were) and it pulled in the video-cast of CNN no problem.

The battery life is double that of any laptop I've ever used--or more. If you charge this machine at night (it takes under an hour to fully charge) you can work on it all day without plugging it in.

This machine has two weaknesses that may or may not be serious, depending on where and how you use it. It's WiFi reception is slightly weaker than my Dell full-sized laptop--not a problem for many people, probably, but the difference is enough to make the machine unable to connect to the internet in my kithcen (where I like to work) at the very fringe of my other laptop's range. And on my trip I stayed in a place where I'm used to picking an unsecured network from the neighboring house: this laptop couldn't quite pull it in. At other sites (Starbuck's, etc.) it's just fine.

The second weakness is that the touchpad is too small for all the functions that it has. The "pinch" function is very useful when you want to enlarge a piece of a ms. you're working on--but on such a small touch pad it can be difficult to control. Even the scroll function on the right side of the touchpad (or, it can be moved to the bottom) can kick in annoyingly when you don't want it, because the pad is small. I've dealt with this issue by simply disabling the "pinch function" and sometimes the scroll function, and simply using the touch pad without any other features--and then it's fine.

I think the HP netbook has a slightly bigger feeling keyboard and bigger touch pad--but this machine has far better battery capacity. It's also heavier by perhaps 6-8 ounces because of the six-cell battery, but I found it a delight to carry around, compared to a full-sized laptop.

Finally, it seems to be very well constructed; and it's attractive with its glossy dark-blue finish. The (imitation?) leather carrying case is all you need to wipe off finger prints and shine it up. Some have complained about fan noise, but the fan seems to be extremely quiet, almost inaudible. It hasn't crashed, but I suspect that the feature that enables you to use one half the drive to keep a mirror image of your operating system and files would be useful, if it did crash. With the few caveats above, I'd recommend this machine.Get more detail about Samsung NC10-14GB 10.2-Inch Blue Netbook - 6 Cell Battery.

Where To Buy Samsung NC10-14GB 10.2-Inch Blue Netbook - 6 Cell Battery

I've read every review on this product on Amazon before I made the decision. I don't want to list pros/cons here again. Just want to tell my experience.

This little baby is everything I want. Very fast, super quiet. I don't want a big laptop anymore. I want to tell my manager "Save your two thousand dollars, all I want is a netook, a samsung netook". My intended use of the netbook is for leisure activities, youtube, slingmedia, email, web surfing, and maybe(A remote distant maybe) some light office duty. Basically, a computer to distract me when I visit the bathroom. :-D

So far, I've installed and tried:
1. Google two finger scroll software and followed someone's online instruction which disables a whole bunch features of the finger pad. After that, it's natural, intuitive and with plenty room.
2. Mounted my desktop DVD/CD drive on the home network and use it to install office 2007. Everything works great, lightening fast.
3. Installed google pack, pctool doc and Norton are the things I want. I tried google earth. The motion and graph is nice and smooth.
4. Installed sling player. how nice it is to play video on this baby, smooth and crystal clear.
5. I'm very afraid of the blue blotch issue. So the first thing I tried is to download a screen test program. Tried everything there. The screen is nice, bright and defect free. Beautiful.
6. When I started initializing the machine, I zeroed out D drive and left everything for C. Who cares about backup and restore on this machine. This is my bathroom machine. If it's gone bad, I'll just install everything again.
7. Someone here complained the network connection. In my try-out, I got excellent connection. The wifi network wizard picks more networks in the neighborhood than my laptop and desktop(Installed PCI wifi g card).
8. Watching netflix instantly play, youtube, hulu, etc, excellent experience.
9. I thought the speaker might be weak as someone mentioned. But I guess that person is deaf or at least hearing damaged. Plenty volume for me.
10. After installed everything, I replaced the 1GB dimm with 2GB. I have to say honestly that I didn't notice any speedup. If you don't want to spend the extra 20 dollars, you might just as well save it, in my opinion.
11. The keyboard is plenty big. My typing is adjusted right away. Great.
12. This is a very well engineered machine. solid, quiet and engineers pay attention to details.

In all, this netbook is a natural for me. No single one thing uncomfortable to use.

Netbook is the future!!!
