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


I looked at a variety of netbooks and this one simply outshined them all. I have not been disappointed. It's perfect for on the go and does everything it should. Samsung did an excellent job.

I upgraded to 2 gig of ram and the installation was simple.

Some advice from personal experience. I purchased a generic external USB Slim DVD CD R/RW Drives Burner Writer from ebay for $30 to watch DVD's and play games. They are usually $40-$50 with shipping included (shipped from China) and downloaded the Intervideo XPACK after coupon for $12 and have had no problems. If the audio/video freezes plug in the power usb cord in addition to the usb cord for playing the device and this solves the problem. This download gives you the software and decoder allowing you to play your DVD with the Intervideo, Windows Media Player or Real Player.

ATT is the best wireless card reviewed by CNET. They did a wireless card showdown this week.

Oh, don't forget to use both the Windows Update and Samsung Update Plus and download the updates on a regular basis. Very easy to use.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


I bought my NC10 about a month ago now. I have been very pleased with it so far. I did upgrade the memory from 1GB to 2GB - it's a very cost-effective upgrade with memory as cheap as it is now. It performs well, you can even do some light gaming on it. I mostly use it to surf the web, email, hulu.com, etc.

If your in the market for a Netbook, you can't go wrong with the Samsung. And in reality, I'd dare say it's one of the best ones on the market.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 Review


I bought the NC10 for travel business purposes. I need to check emails when out of the office but don't like carting around a laptop. I can toss this little guy in my briefcase; small and light weight. At home, it is also good for my wife to use for web browsing and emailing. Again, lightweight and small size are big pluses. Plus 6 hours of battery mean no power cords around; it can be charged overnight.

Pros:
- Size and lightweight.
- Great battery life
- Almost full size keyboard with nice feel to keys.
- Windows XP operating system (I'm not a Vistas fan)
- Screen is nice size & very bright (with 8 settings).
- Operates almost as fast as my custom built fullsize biz computer.
- Relatively inexpensive

Cons: None for my purposes but all netbooks have limitations; these include:
- No CD/DVD player
- Limited software (no Windows office, etc).
- Sound is pitiful.
- Touch pad is not my cup of tea.


Things I added:
- Digitech VX nano mouse (works great... around 40 bucks)
- 2 GB memory (easy to install; read "how to" in user guide on NC10)
- Samsung SE-SOP84B external CD/DVD drive (works fine; not sure if needed... around 65 bucks)

Bottom line, I'm really impressed with the NC10; if I had understood netbooks a few months ago I would not have bought a laptop.

If your looking for a netbook as a second computer, this one is hard to beat. Do price shop carefully; prices are all over the board. Also, price seems to vary by color.
