Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R36ZQ53LE3DQH5 I really love my little netbook (small notebook as some manufacturer's would rather call it).
To reiterate what I stated in the video, here are the main points:
1. Excellent sized keyboard at 93% of full sized version. (MSI is comparable, but the shift key among other things aren't quite as natural as the NC10. ie: shift key on MSI is more to the left instead of directly underneath the Enter key like the NC10). NC10 by far to me has the most natural keyboard for touch typists.
2. Superb long life battery. Up to eight hours, and around 5.5 hours of heavy use battery life. I gave it a heavy test by running multiple programs in the background while running streaming and got 5.5hrs with 20 minutes left on the battery. (The MSI at Best gets around 5 hours) Netbooks are supposed to be for "portability" and if your netbook can't get a decent charge and sustain it, that pretty much takes away it's ability to do so.
I realize it's personal preference, and I'm sure the MSI is a great item too, but these reasons to me make a big difference.
A note in the video about the NC10. So far they have released three colors in the NC10. Here are my 2 cents. Get the white (kind of a pearl subtle metallic silvery color as you can see in the video). The black and the blue are incredibly pretty, but they've got a high gloss finish. High gloss finish = fingerprint purgatory. If you can't keep it smudge free, it takes away it's professional and clean look.Get more detail about Samsung NC10-14GB 10.2-Inch Blue Netbook - 6 Cell Battery.
