I debated a long time between a netbook and an iPhone. As cool as the iPhone is, the screen is just too small for these aging eyes. And I already have a phone, and can't see paying for two, even if only for a couple of months.
Once I decided on a netbook I was torn between the Dell, the HP and this one. I looked at the Acer and Asus, but decided there were too many problems with screens, power, etc. The Dell, HP and Samsung are very close in features. I love Dell (I have one at work and at home), but there were a couple of things that kept me from going that way - - 1. Customizing the Dell made the price go up significantly (I just love bells and whistles) and 2. Customer Service! Dell is great as long as there are no problems, but if you are unlucky and there is a problem, Dell's customer service STINKS! HP is no better, so I decided on the Samsung (great price and Customer Service has been fine with the TV we own).
Just got my "Sammy" a couple of days ago. I love it! I knew that no netbook comes with a internal cd player, so I would have to buy an external one (I got the Samsung in the same color blue). But this makes it very light, even with the battery in! And the battery really does last a long time (over 7 hrs, better than both Dell and HP). And I love the keyboard, so much like my full size one that I hardly notice the difference.
I bought my Sammy through Amazon purposely. I might have been able to get a better price somewhere else, but I haven't found better Customer Service anywhere!!! IF there are any problems in the future, I know Amazon will take care of me.
It's only been a couple of days but I am very happy with my Sammy. I think I made the right choice for me.Get more detail about Samsung NC10-14GB 10.2-Inch Blue Netbook - 6 Cell Battery.
