Customer Reviews:
NC10 value for money
I have purchased 3 of these now, 1 last year (a years worth of use and still brilliant)
Got another two for family members. I personally love these little machines however I would have liked windows 7 on the new ones as I know some Microsoft employees have these and win 7 installed with no problems.
The touch pad is the downside but other than that overall excellent and well worth there price.
Samsung NC10
Great netbook - easy to use keyboard. Recommended. Might have to buy more memory some time but otherwise great.
A great improvement
I bought an Acer Aspire One just over a year ago to take with me on trips to England and to use in the house when I didn't want to fire up my desktop machine. The version I got runs Linpus Lite (Linux)and came with a three cell battery and 513Mb of RAM. It is easy to use and perfectly adequate for surfing the net. I even managed to edit photographs with it using Gimp software and upload them using Linux FTP software.
Then I decided to buy a Vodafone USB dongle to connect to the Internet whilst in England and that is where I started to struggle. I know that there is software available to work with Linux but I couldn't get it to run. I also struggled to find a way to network the Acer with my Windows Vista desktop, so I decided to buy a Window XP netbook for myself and give the Linux version to my wife.
I'd read quite a lot about the NC10 and knew someone who'd bought one. It seemed like the best choice available on the market at present.
Having bought one, I am happy to say that the reviews I read were all correct. The keyboard is the best I have used on any laptop; it has just the right amount of feel and travel. The screen is bright, clear and sharp as a pin and the battery life in comparison with the 3 cell Acer is fantastic.
Best of all though, all the software I am familiar with runs on the Samsung without a hitch including Canon's Digital Photo Professional which normally won't even install on netbooks because it requires a screen with a minimum resolution of 1024 x 768. Rather cleverly, Samsung have included a program called Easy Resolution Manager on their netbook which allows you to switch between 1024 x 600 and 1024 x 768.
With regards to the purchase process, I have bought a lot of stuff from Amazon recently some of which has been delivered directly to Spain and other items to my daughter in England. This was the first expensive item to come to Spain and was shipped by courier rather than post. I'm pleased to say that the service was fast and trouble free. In fact, I'd hardly finished my morning cuppa when the delivery man arrived at my doorstep. Full marks to Amazon for service and to Samsung for producing such a good netbook.
Screen not working within 4 days of receipt 
I received my laptop on Thursday and, on Friday, installed an extra 1GB memory, Microsoft Office 2007, connected to my wireless network and downloaded Mozilla Firefox. All quite simple really.
I next touched the laptop on Sunday afternoon for a bit of afternoon chatting on Skype before settling down to do some work on Microsoft Word. All fine.
Then, it happened. When I turned on the computer again, the blasted thing had lines going across the screen...then the screen turned white for a while before reverting back to lines. And it's still doing it. It's like a VHS needs tracking and I can't see a thing.
I called Amazon customer support who have suggested that I try the recovery disk first, otherwise "there's a problem with the screen" (really?!). It seems likely I'm going to have to return it along with the work I'd done on Sunday afternoon. But here's the snitch - Amazon don't have any replacements so I'll just have to make do with a refund.
Just like my relationships...it started off so well only to blow up in my face...
Awesome Laptop
I bought this to use at home for internet,music and office applications. The NC10 fits the bill perfectly. The screen is crisp and bright with a good sized keypad. The initial setup of the laptop is easy, you get the option to split the C: D: drive into sections (Default set at 70ish GB each) I set mine to 104 for D: (use for storage of music/work/pics etc) and for programs and XP use C: set about 40GB. Advantage is if XP gives up you dont lose all your data!
Wireless is fast and reliable and able to stream video without any probs.
Battery life seems good too with a full charge lasting 6+hours however this depends on what you are doing. Very impressed overall.
