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


After a few months of reading reviews about of all of the positives and negatives that come with netbooks, I decided that it was time to take the plunge and get the NC-10. This little bad boy is nice. Sleek, compact, fast and comfortable. The keyboard is absolutely perfect. All of your keys are there where they're supposed to be. It feels completely natural when you're typing. The screen is bright and crystal clear with keyboard buttons that let you adjust the brightness levels. The fan is extremely quiet and there is even a hot-key (shortcut) on your keyboard that lets you run it in silent mode (turns it off until it rises to a certain temperature) I've never had to use it because it's perfectly quiet by default. This netbook is very speedy, boot up times are great and you can significantly improve them by removing McAfee and installing another virus protection software (I recommend Nod32). Bluetooth is an added bonus. I haven't had any problems at all except for a slight adjustment to the small track pad. If you don't mind carrying around a small bluetooth mouse with you, you can do that as well. The track pad really works great once you get the hang of it, but there was a learning curve for me.

I couldn't believe how long the battery lasts on this machine. I watched the clock when I first started using it and counted down six and a half hours before it got to thirty minutes left, then I charged it back up. Keep in mind that I was using the laptop the whole time, when I wasn't on it I had downloads running, just to test how long it would last in use. I was worried about the screen size at first. I thought it would be too small and viewing websites would be a hassle. I thought wrong. The text isn't too small and it does not hurt your eyes at all. My vision isn't the greatest and I'm still able to view everything perfectly. A lot of people have recommended putting your browser in full screen mode to view things perfectly or hiding your start menu bar, but I've found it to be very nice the way it is. Can't forget to mention the webcam either. It's there if you ever need it and the picture quality is really good for 1.3 Megapixels. I've named her 'Sammy' (yeah, not very creative, I know). This netbook is a real eye catcher with the glossy black outside, simplistic 'SAMSUNG' logo on the front, nice shiny chrome trim around the outside and flashy blue LED lights on the front side. I'm glad I purchased this netbook, it was worth every penny! I just wish I would have gotten it sooner, now I can't live without it.Get more detail about Samsung NC10-14GB 10.2-Inch Blue Netbook - 6 Cell Battery.

I had resisted the purchase of a netbook, but when I read the review of the Samsung NC-10 I simply had to have one. I found it to be everything I'd expected and more, what with its bright screen and tactile keyboard. The touchpad is rather small however, and not being a big fan of them anyway, I opted for a tiny USB mouse instead. The battery life is quite long, although it spends most of the time plugged into A/C current. I'm sure the 1 Gig of RAM would have been sufficient, but I added the 2 gig chip just because. Having traveled with a heavy 17" laptop in the past, the NC-10 will be a joy to transport!Get more detail about Samsung NC10-14GB 10.2-Inch Blue Netbook - 6 Cell Battery.

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


I consider myself a laptop fanatic. I have owned 4 laptops in the last 5 years mainly giving the old ones away. Having said that I was wanting something ultraportable without having to pay the hefty price of the corporate computers. I mostly web surf, word process, and listen to music. Even then the Samsung NC10 is by far the best small computer overall. Most of the other netbooks appear to be designed for kids or students. The NC10 has the BEST keyboard even compared to regular laptops. Typing is easy and fast and the keys are nearly normal size (93%). Don't underestimate the importance of this. The track pad was small at first but I've gotten used to it. It is really versatile allowing you to scroll left/right and up/down. In addition the standard driver allows you to zoom or shrink the screen with easy handstrokes so you can adjust you view of whatever your working on. The battery life is 5.5 to 6 hours on the standard battery, enough for almost anything your going to do. Upgrading RAM is easy with an easy access compartment. It is one of the more expensive netbooks $450-500. However, the extra money is really worth in terms of quality, usability and upgradability. So if your not a student and can afford the extra money, the Samsung NC10 is really the best. Great webcam, great sound card, okay speakers, but sounds excellent with headphones. Doesn't get hot and makes almost no noise at all. I never hear the harddrive or fan. Highly recommend as you can tell. Hope this helps your decision.
