I've been using this computer for the last month, and I am very pleased with it. I setup a dual boot using the Jaunty Ubuntu Linux NBR (Netbook Remix), and it works flawlessly. It seems to have everything I want in a computer, the only thing missing is a CD/DVD drive, but that is OK given the small size, weight and price. I recommend getting another 1GB stick of RAM with your purchase so that you can double the amount of internal memory for only about $20. Replacement of your RAM is very easy, taking only about 5 minutes on my part and not requiring any special tools other than a small phillips-head screwdriver. I stuck a logitech wireless mouse on it, because I don't like the trackpad (although it works OK in a pinch).
The only disappointment that I've had is the battery life only seems to last about 4.5 hours instead of the advertised 6. This isn't a deal-breaker, and it may be related to the fact that linux burns battery at a faster rate than windows. Overall, a great machine for most common computer tasks, and a perfect computer for running ubuntu linux.Get more detail about Samsung NC10-14GB 10.2-Inch Blue Netbook - 6 Cell Battery.
You could wind up paying $50.00 to $100.00 more than you should for the Samsung NC10 Netbook! There are online vendors today (9/21) selling this netbook for as much as $440.00! I found eBay auctioning one for $346.00. But in less than 90 seconds, I was able to locate the very low price of $340.00 at an online store.
