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

I did extensive web research before purchasing this laptop; while these seem a bit less common than their MSI and Asus brethren, the reviews were uniformly positive. The features that I was most interested in were long battery life, great keyboard, built-in bluetooth (I wanted to use my Microsoft wireless presenter mouse), and Windows 7 compatibility. After a few weeks of use, I am completely satisfied with the choice. It is a solid feeling little box, and the keyboard is better than most full-size laptops. The Windows 7 beta works great on it - battery life only a little less than with XP and performance at least as good as with XP. The display quality is excellent. I was initially concerned that the touch pad is rather small, but in practice that really doesn't seem to be a problem - I have no problem using it, although in general due to habit I prefer to use an external mouse, which thanks to the builtin bluetooth also works great. I have been a laptop user since about 1983, so have gone through quite a few of them, large and small, over the years. I am surprised in how little one really has to give up for this small package - obviously you're not going to do much 3d rendering on it, but for basic office work type stuff (authoring, web browsing, email, etc.) it is quite capable and more than sufficient for almost everything I do, and it sure is a delight to carry around. I usually don't even bother to lug the power supply (which itself is light and compact), since the battery life is so good. I would definitely buy it again if I had it to do over.

I'm a web developer; at work I constantly view work on Win2000, Win XP, and OSX, and use OSX at home. I also teach a web development class and didn't want to carry my loaded MacBook around for the class. So after almost getting an aluminum HP2140, I instead got the NC10. The main reasons: higher screen resolution, much better battery life, good sized keyboard, generous hard drive, and a decent amount of RAM, all standard in the *base* model for about $450.
The reviews also said that the build quality was impressive, and that the online support was well-executed, so I took the jump, though as a rule I never buy from companies new to a product category.
Everything's as was said; the system runs very well, quietly, and not hot. And not loaded with crapware to remove. It also seems that the engineers built in a good backup/restore capability, so that Windows and all necessary drivers are easy to restore whenever needed.
Bonuses:
1) It's not bad on the eyes at all. The blue is dark enough to be fine for a professional setting, yet different enough to be interesting; really pretty nice for a Windows box.
2) The little slipcase is nice - prevents it from being scratched when tossed in a shoulder bag.
3) nice amount of ports: 3 USB, SD card, ethernet, VGA out.
4) Bright, sharp screen. (Maybe because Samsung makes TVs)
5) relatively small, 2-prong power supply
To consider:
1) the HDD is partitioned so that half is for the auto backup function. But realistically, I find the 80 usable Gb more than enough.
2) trackpad is indeed small, so I often use a small mouse.Get more detail about Samsung NC10-14GB 10.2-Inch Blue Netbook - 6 Cell Battery.

Very pleased, does everything it should. The only weakness I've noticed is the wireless connection is not strong. The other laptops in the house do fine, so there must be some reason this one is a weak signal. Otherwise, it feels good, has a quality look & feel, and easily handles several open browser tabs without slowing down.Get more detail about Samsung NC10-14GB 10.2-Inch Blue Netbook - 6 Cell Battery.
