Samsung NC10-14GB 10.2-Inch Blue Netbook - 6 Cell Battery Review

I work with both this Samsung and Dell 9" netbooks. I like them both and would get the Samsung if price were same or not much difference. I got my Dell at their Outlet store when they had the christmas 20% off sale. Made it much cheaper.

1. These are not laptop replacements and if you are going to try that you will be returning it. They are meant for travel or work in small places where a laptop wouldnt fit easily or isnt convenient. My clients will use them in their pickups where they dont have to have a vehicle desktop, they can just use their seat divider perfectly. Some will use them at work sites where they can be easily protected versus a regular size laptop.

2. Both seemlessly connect to Bluetooth GPS for Ag software and Bluetooth Mice.

3. Both netbooks connected to the Wireless networks where I have tested them.

4. Big difference is that the Dell uses a 16GB SSD drive and the Samsung uses the big 160GB HDD. The Dell is not meant for many different programs, loaded Office Pro 2003 but not 2007 (That would tax the system too much I think, it is a hog. I like it but it needs resources and it still is slow.) and Ag software programs for tracking and GPS. The Samsung has much more storage and I did load Office Pro 2007 on it and it is not that bad, wouldnt beat any records but so far is ok. WIll upgrade to 2GB when can.

5. The most viewable difference is the keyboard. The Dell's keyboard is usable but it takes some getting used to. The Samsung works pretty darn normal. I am a big person so it is a little cramped but definitely usable. The difference would be worth the cost if you are going to be typing a lot.

6. 10" Samsung screen, enough said. The Dell has a very nice screen also though.

I am not trying to knock either machine, I am very impressed with both. What I want to do is try to get people looking to replace their main laptop with a netbook to second guess that. Both machines are very nice and are packed with all you need to have a great "Travel" or special use machine. Clients are going to use these as another tool not to replace a laptop. Some are happy now because they can have a laptop again. Oh well that is my 2 cents worth. This is a nice laptop and would definitely recommend for the right purpose. Head to head with the others I think this one is the winner now. Happy with my purchase.Get more detail about Samsung NC10-14GB 10.2-Inch Blue Netbook - 6 Cell Battery.
