This seems like the best Netbook, and the reasons are simple. I had a Lenovo S10 for a few days, but the Right shift key was not functional, and made typing impossible for me. The short battery life was no comparison to the NC10. I've used the black NC10 for a week now, and here are my thoughts.
3 best things about the NC10:
1) Best Keyboard. Nearly normal size, and just as important is that the Right shift key is nearly perfect.
2) Superb battery life. You can get 6-8 hours, which totally changes how and when you you can use this.
3) Bluetooth. Not as important as #'s 1 & 2, but a very nice feature to have.
I've read people complaining about the black glossy surface being a fingerprint magnet. Well, it is, but it's not that big of a deal to me. Wipes off easily if you're annoyed. All in all I think it looks very sleek.
The biggest downsides to me so far:
1) Internet (Firefox) seems sluggish. I've made some tweaks and it seems better, but still seems a little slow.
2) Touchpad. The vertical size doesn't bother me (after tweaking the settings). What I don't like is that it is at the same level as the surrounding palm rest area, and it feels exactly the same as the palm rest. With my Dell 700M, the touchpad is a little lower than surrounding area, and it's smoother, so I always know exactly where I am. With the NC10, I cannot tell where I am on the touchpad, or if I'm even on it, without looking down at it (I'm sure that's why they put arrows on the right side of the touchpad--so you can see where the edge of it is). This makes scrolling a challenge. Not a huge deal, but it is tricky.
All in all, this is a great machine. I think it can replace a regular notebook computer for nearly everyone except serious gamers or video editors. Bravo Samsung!Get more detail about Samsung NC10-14GB 10.2-Inch Blue Netbook - 6 Cell Battery.
