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

I was waiting for HP to release the 2140 with the HD display but when they did, all they had as smart, pre-built options had a 6-cell battery. But wait, their 6-cell is not like the NC10 6-cell, theirs sticks down vertically which would cause quite a problem when inserting and removing from sleeves, bags, etc. I could have just purchased the 6-cell smart-buy option and buy an additional 3-cell as an accessory but they don't offer it as an accessory! I called HP and complained and they said my only option was to configure it myself with a 3-cell, but then it would have been $150 more (over $600 total) for less of a netbook!!! I was thoroughly fed-up. I also could have gone with HP's 1035NR but was so fed up with them that I didn't want to give them my business.

My other option was the Lenovo S10, but didn't hear any good reviews on the standard 3-cell battery life. Again, I could have gotten the 6-cell option but it stuck out of the back of the netbook. The NC10 6-cell is made for the netbook and does not stick out at all; it fits flush, which is nice.

I ordered the white version and it is a nice pearlized white. It is not shiny/glossy so it does not show fingerprints at all.

The netbook came with a plain, standard, soft touch sleeve which is nice since now I don't have to buy a sleeve.

I have used the netbook for a few hours over the weekend and it runs very nice. I went to crucial.com and did a system scan and ordered a 2 GB RAM upgrade for $27.99 before shipping. The netbook is thoroughly fast already, but why not double the RAM when it's only $27.99 and really easy to install?

Overall, I absolutely love the netbook and couldn't be happier with my choice. Get more detail about Samsung NC10-14GB 10.2-Inch Blue Netbook - 6 Cell Battery.

This little computer is exactly what I wanted: portable, fast, convenient for travel and taking to class. The sound quality is great.

My unit came with a problem: the screen would flicker randomly while lines would appear horizontally and disrupt the image. I sent it in to Samsung tech support free of charge and a week later I had it in my hands again, running perfectly.Get more detail about Samsung NC10-14GB 10.2-Inch Blue Netbook - 6 Cell Battery.

As for the quality of the notebook, it feels sturdy, but the screen is the flat finish and not crisp like the HP Minis. I ended up returning this notebook because the touchpad wasn't functional, it was extremely difficult to use the touchpad and because my daughter has the HP Mini, the touchpad was very smooth and usable, I've always been a mouse user but with the HP Mini I was able to use the touchpad with extreme ease and not get frustrated with manuevering around it. The Samsung I would definitely have to use the mouse to be productive. However the built in camera is better than the HP Mini. So for me, the touchpad was the deal killer.Get more detail about Samsung NC10-14GB 10.2-Inch Blue Netbook - 6 Cell Battery.
