After reading all the on-line reviews, I went to several stores (Fry's, Best Buy, Staples, Office Depot) and none of those stores carried this Netbook. All the reviews I read about this Netbook were positive; however, I like to physically touch the item before I buy it. With great skepticism I placed the order for the Blue Samsung NC10 with the extra 2 GB stick and the Case Logic LNEO-10 Ultraportable Neoprene Notebook Sleeve (Black). I placed the order on April 11th and I received the order on April 16th. I was pleasantly surprised when I took it out of the box for the first time, it was everything I expected. The excellent fit and finish, the size of the keyboard, the size of the screen, the web cam, not to mention the 5.5 hours the battery lasts running Itunes, Mozilla Firefox, Word and Excel. This Netbook has completely replaced my Dell desktop. I take it with my everywhere and because it's so portable, it's a pleasure to work on it for business or pleasure. My girlfriend wanted to trade her Apple Macbook for my Netbook and I refused the trade because I love this thing.
The only couple of issues I've found are the following:
- The machine does tend to overheat, although it's not as bad for full-fledge laptops, it does heat up.
- Lack of DVD player. It's a hassle installing software without a DVD drive, although you can purchase an external one, it does make installing software a bit difficult.
- Use a wireless mouse to prevent frustration when working with this Netbook, we'll worth the money.
So far, I haven't had any problems working with this machine and I would definitely recommend this Netbook to anyone who's sitting on the fence. It's a great Netbook for the price.
