This has to be the best of the netbooks. After weeks of research I bought this machine hoping to not be disappointed. I wasn't, it has done everything for me that I have asked. I bought the Ram upgrade which I recommend. The wireless adapter works extremely well. The updating software is the only piece of the puzzle that doesn't seem to work, however Samsung has the updates on their site for the manual update. If you find yourself missing the optical drive there is plenty of power left to run an external drive. My machine runs for about 5 hours on a charge. I don't even take the charger with me. Overall I would have to rate this machine a BEST BUY ! Get more detail about Samsung NC10-14GB 10.2-Inch Blue Netbook - 6 Cell Battery.

Samsung NC10-14GB 10.2-Inch Blue Netbook - 6 Cell Battery Decide Now
I just received NC10 today, and I'm so happy with this product. I bought this as a sub-laptop to my big and heavy 15.4" laptop, but I think I'll be using this one far more often than the big one. Here are things I love about NC10:
1. NC10 is light. Plus, it looks good. I think it weighs about the same as hardcover text books I carry around. Adding this little netbook to my bag won't be too much burden. I bought the pink one and it's adorable. I was worried that the pink might look too "cheap" or "toyish", but apparently not. Also, I think NC10 is built well. It feels sturdy and nice.
2. Upgrading RAM to 2GB is EASY. There's just one screw on the bottom that you need to remove, open the slot cover, then you'll see the RAM right in there. I'm not good at handling computers and I never upgraded anything before myself, but this was a piece of cake.
3. As many users already mentioned,keyboard is great. The keys are almost identical size to the normal desktop keyboard, only your hands are going to be a little closer together. No 'getting-used-to' necessary.
4. Bright screen. I tried increasing the brightness to the full, and it was too bright that I had to turn it down a little.
5. Great battery life. I've been using this netbook for 6 hrs now (probably left it alone in powersave mode for 30 min or so while having dinner) and the battery indicator says I still have 1 hr left.
6. Great wireless connection. This one detects so many wireless networks from my neighborhood, even more than my bigger laptop does.
7. So far, runs fast enough for all my needs. I planned to use this one for websurfing + light office duties. Working just fine, so far, even when I open multiple tabs.
I really recommend this product. I read many reviews before buying this netbook, and I decided on this one rather than ASUS or Acer (despite the slightly higher price) because there were far less complaints about NC10. And I see why. There's simply not much to complain about.
Perhaps the biggest weakness is the short touchpad. Yes indeed, it is short vertically (horizontally, it's okay). But I came around this problem by changing the mouse pointer speed to 'fast'. Also, I googled "two finger scroll software", and downloaded a file that enables me to scroll with two fingers as on Mac. This is really convenient! Now the small touchpad is not much of a problem!!Get more detail about Samsung NC10-14GB 10.2-Inch Blue Netbook - 6 Cell Battery.
