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


I purchased the NC10 from amazon after doing quite a bit of research, I went to several stores to try out different netbooks though no one locally carried the Samsung so I bought it based on reviews and what i did and didn't like about other Netbooks...
Best Warranty, 3 years parts and labor plus you get 3 months extra for registering your purchase on samsung support website. (there is some confusion as samsung website and seller sites say 1 year but the warranty card inside clearly states 3 years.. go to sammynetbook dot com for more info.
Best screen. matte superbright LED backlit screen. 10 inch is a must.. the 8.9 inch screens and keyboards were just too small for me.
Excellent battery life
Has bluetooth and SD card slot.
near fullsize keyboard that is easy to touchtype on with a standard size and location of the right shift key...
I upgraded to 2gb of samsung DDR 2 800Mhz ram.. with no issues though the chipset does not currently run at that speed. maybe they will later with a bios upgrade ...
touchpad buttons in standard place on bottom not on the sides.
Only negative is the touchpad is not that great.
EDIT: I installed "twofingerscroll" a freeware program and it really improved the function of the track pad. very easy and resopnsive scrolling and turning off the scroll bars as you won't need them with this program makes the useable trackpad space larger.... definitely a good fix for the only negative I have found with this netbook so farGet more detail about Samsung NC10-14GB 10.2-Inch Blue Netbook - 6 Cell Battery.

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


I ordered an Accer Aspire One but returned it because I read some reviews that said the Samsung had a better screen and keyboard. The Samsung NC10 can also be upgrade another full Gigabyte instead of only a Half Gig like the Acer. I will wait awhile before doing the upgrade because my NC10 with 1 Gig is just As fast , if not faster than my Dell Inspiron E1405 with 3 Gigs running Vista. It has plenty of ports to connect devices and has bluetooth connectivity. This is my ninth laptop. I have never owned a desktop. Six years ago I bought a Toshiba with the fifteen inch screen. Everyone just loved it. I found myself only carrying it to work about one or two days per week so about two years ago I went to a DELL with the 14 in screen. I teach four or five classes at a local university and often have to carry two or three textbooks. I have developed arthritis in my knees and it is difficult lugging a laptop and several books around. Now I can scan my chapters in that I need for the day and carry my Samsung and roll book. Samsung, my 55 year old knees and back thank you. Now going to conferences will be easier and if I get bored between classes I can surf the net or grade my students work that they post online.
