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.
