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

I've had this netbook for about a month, and it's performed very nicely for both personal and work-related use. I don't hesitate to recommend this model.

The battery life is fantastic, the quality of construction is very good, it seems to have all the computing power I need, and it doesn't have one of those awful gloss screens that seem to be all the rage in the most recent generation of laptops.

When I was shopping for netbooks, some of the reviews talked about the keyboard size as an issue, and others talked about the touchpad as a design flaw. I have big hands for a girl, and I don't have trouble with the keyboard. The touchpad does take some getting used to, but after the first few days, I adjusted. When I'm really serious about working, though, I use an external mouse.

I purchased a copy of Office 2007, and there's no problem running applications simultaneously - plenty of guts - though I did upgrade to 2G RAM as soon as I unboxed this computer.

I do use an external headset for audio and video conferences because the on-board mic's sound quality isn't fabulous. The webcam, however, does the job.

I'm happy that this computer shipped with XP, but, as I've come to find out, there is at least one benefit of running Vista. I use Microsoft's ink tools extensively at work - my work computer is a tablet PC - and I bought a Wacom Bamboo USB tablet to try and mirror that functionality on this computer. The bad news is that the ink tools in Office 2007 running on XP are only available in OneNote. Vista automatically recognizes USB tablets and makes those tools available.

Overall this a very nice machine for the price!Get more detail about Samsung NC10-14GB 10.2-Inch Blue Netbook - 6 Cell Battery.

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

I wanted to buy a netbook for surfing and basic word processing while my Dell XPS laptop was back at dell for repair. Given the issues I had with my Dell I wanted to go with a non-dell brand. After much research I elected to buy the Samsung because of the screeen and battery life - and I'm glad I did.

The screen is bright and clear and looked sharper than the HP mini netbook and Asus Eee PC Netbook that were on display at Best Buy. Additionally the whole unit is about the size of the screen - not like the Asus where the screen is framed in by a good 1 1/2" of plastic on all sides.

It was super easy to upgrade the memory to 2G - I removed the cover, poped out the old, replaced with the new $26 memory and replaced cover. Total upgrade time was less than 5 min.

The keyboard is also suprisingly comfortable and easy to type on. Size and feel are booth really good.

The battery life is really good. I have had at least 6 hours of charge with basic use (bluetooth turned off).

The design is thoughtful and simplified - just what you need nothing more. (more like the HP than the Asus which was kind of clunky).

Finally I'd like to do a shout out to JR's Music and Computer via Amazon. I ordered on a Thursday by noon, selected regular shipping and had my unit the next day - WOW.

Cons - this unit doesn't have the Microsoft Works that some of the other netbooks include I had to add it which did add to the price - but I think it was worth it.

I hope my findings help others. This is a great unit and I was glad I bought from JRs.
