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


I was a little bit skeptical at first because a lot of people told me that netbooks have rather poor performance and only very limited memory. However, after reviewing various different models (Asus Eee, Acer Aspire ONE, MacBook Air), I figured that the NC10 is the best choice. The MacBook may beat it performance wise but only has one USB port. the NC10 has 3 USB ports, none of the netbooks have disc drives though but that doesn't bother me.
I particularly like the amazing battery life of the NC10, up to 8 hours! Keeps me well entertained with movies on long haul flights. Also, the screen is very big for such a compact unit. Most netbooks, for some reason, don't have a screen that takes up all the space if could, resulting in a bulky looking plastic "frame" around a too small screen.
Performance-wise, I'm running MS Office 2007 enterprise on it (OS: XP, never again Vista). Additionally, I use Firefox and for my media needs, FrostWire and uTorrent, everything runs great as it did on my old laptop... until it pathetically died - twice.
Overall, I can recommend the NC10 to anyone who isn't a hardcore gamer. I've had it for two months now and not yet discovered any disadvantages to full-size computers except the non-present disc drive.
Oh, one last thing, I got it flat white which looks quite amazing with the blue lights of various status lights and the power button. It does get looks because of that and, naturally, its size.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 have to agree with what almost everyone else is saying in that this unit is great for what it is. Yes you have to adapt to the smaller screen and touch pad but for what it is it works very well.

The screen looks good, keyboard is nice, and the battery life is excellent. You don't have to void the warranty and gut the whole thing to upgrade the memory but you do if want to upgrade the hard drive so that is something to take into consideration. I don't see any problems with the screen on my unit that was purchased here on 12/31.

Samsung even includes recovery discs in the box. Right off the bat I started the system up to see what was on it. Then I used a USB DVD drive and the included OS disc to delete the recovery partition and reinstall just the OS. Then I used the included application disc and it let me install just the couple utilities that I wanted without all the other stuff, nice.

My only real complaints would be that the case it comes with is only slightly useful because it won't protect from impacts and the flap doesn't have a fastener. The other thing is that when a SD card is inserted it is not flush with the body of the laptop. It sticks out a little bit but is tolerable.Get more detail about Samsung NC10-14GB 10.2-Inch Blue Netbook - 6 Cell Battery.
