Do not order a computer from Amazon- whether you select free shipping or more costly option, they may ship it UPS. After repeated calls to track my package when it didnt arrive, I finally learned that UPS delivered my computer to completely wrong address. After repeated inquiry calls, being disconnected, etc. UPS confirmed that they delivered my Samsung netbook to wrong address & had someone with different name sign off for it-at which time I was told to contact Amazon to trace it. They could not so much as provide contact no. for Amazon rep. so I had to start at square one on the website to locate that. I spent hours on phone with both UPS and Amazon, the latter who offered to send me another computer but again they cannot guarantee what company will ship it- it will likely be sent by UPS again as, the Amazon rep explaind, their warehouse dictates what co. ships products, thus you cannot request Fedex or other carrier be used. After many years of having reliable service from Amazon, I feel compelled to warn others to purchase expensive items like this computer from some other vendor with more reliable shipping options as I will never order anything more than books from Amazon again. This is not the first time Ive had significant problems with UPS but it is by far the most unbelievable, that my new computer was delivered into hands of some total stranger, who clearly signed with a different name, and I've now spent at least 10 hours in recent days on phone trying to sort this all out. I am still waiting to see if the replacement shipment will ever reach me. I imagine the product is fine so apologies the review is not more specific to that -- but only whoemever got my computer can really say as of now. I just wanted to alert others to this mess so you can avoid such a frustrating experience. 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 had the NC-10 for about a month now, just came back from a 3 wk business trip where I brought it along. battery life has generally lasted me around 5 hour or so, it fits very well on the tray table on planes, and allows me to work on papers, listen to music, or watch videos with ease. typing on the keyboard is great as well.

opting to install OSX has made the machine that much more usable, with Spaces and Expose, you don't feel that limited by the small screen as you would under WinXP. nearly all the hardware works on this mini-macbook, the only thing that doesn't work yet is the mic under OSX. Can easily boot into XP when I needed to do video chat on skype. the side scroll portion of the small trackpad doesn't work under OSX, so scrolling through webpages and stuff is relegated to the arrow keys.

hardware upgrades were relatively simple, to upgrade the RAM, you simply open the small hatch on the bottom. to upgrade the hard drive and wireless card (necessary for use with OSX), you have to open the entire case and prod carefully with a screwdriver to unlatch the case and get it open. once that's done, however, replacing the wireless card and/or hdd (i didn't replace the hdd) was pretty straightforward.

it's a great little machine that runs OSX and is perfect for carrying around with me when I don't want to carry my 17" macbook pro.Get more detail about Samsung NC10-14GB 10.2-Inch Blue Netbook - 6 Cell Battery.
