Solid Product and quite Happy with Purchase. Wanted to give 5 stars but trackpad is a bit small and sound is less than stellar and just adequate. And Black finish a fingerprint magnet.
Found it came with battery already charged and ready for install procedure. I choose custom partitions as the default is half C: and other half D: drive where you want to save all your Docs,Pics,Vids,Music,etc.. if you have to wipe and restore the C: windows XP partition then you will not lose any of your personal data.
So I chose to resize C: to 25gb and leave the rest for D:
No Blotchies complaint as some of the earlier post complain about. QA issue? seems Samsung took care of the issue and would be a rare occurrence.
Advertised Battery life as reported by others 6+ hours. Keyboard top notch,Build Top Notch,Dead quiet no fan or HD noise I can hear.
First of all and this is the most important thing, remove McAfee Antivirus by using a tool that really removes everything, you may think you have removed everything but "Add/Remove Programs" doesn't do it.
McAfee hides in the background taking up important system resources and generally slows your NC10 down.
The McAfee Consumer Products Removal tool just google for MCPR.exe)
So uninstall normal Add/Remove program way first then run the MCPR.exe to finish the removal.
It is a resource hog and adds to boot time. And try the less resource hog and free AVG (google AVG)fills most's needs.
Also check out the forum for the NC10

For much info and help on getting the most out of your Sammy!
Update May 18: And still a click'in great. Since then have added the Micosoft 5000 bluetooth mouse. Which is great except the annoying center wheel click when turning. And a Samsung SE-S084B/RSBN External Slim USB DVD-Writer for $65 for when needing a drive. And works great No external power brick runs off one usb port tho two plugs are provided as some lappies don't have sufficient power using just one usb port. But the sammy does!
Also note that Windows 7 will run great on it. And for game complaints it will run games that are 5 years or older fine. Have run Splinter Cell,Max Payne 2,etc.. class of games.
