Samsung NC10

...from these with a 9" Samsung with an external keyboard that eventually just drove me nuts. I'd settled for a larger screened Dell (a massive 13.3" screen) but after 13 months of successful and happy operation the GPU decided that it couldn't handle being so warm for so many hours each day and decided to give up, leaving me with no way to use my otherwise functioning laptop. Swift action was required as I travel a lot and really really need a little ...
...seen a shiny looking black Samsung NC-10 whilst out shopping and thought how nice it looked. A few weeks further on I saw a shiny blue one and spent rather too long looking at it, the seed was sown in my mind but I was determined to resist buying a new shiny thing, I didn't need another laptop. Then of course my Dell stopped working, giving me a perfect excuse to get straight on the net to order a blue NC-10. My previous Samsung laptop experience ...

Review of Samsung NC10

...replace it with a black Samsung NC10. The Asus and this Samsung are what is known as a netbook. It?s sort of a small, low cost laptop to let you surf the net, while you?re out and about. I bought it off Dixons.co.uk for £322 in December 2009 (had a 5% off coupon) but it?s going for around £310 at the moment in most places. ==CHOICES== The NC10 is Samsung's first stab at the netbook market and they?ve done a blinding job of it. I believe it even won ...
...leave it idle). The Samsung NC10 has a 10.2 inch screen with a native resolution of 1024 x 600, which was one of the deciding factors of buying it as any smaller might make viewing web pages more difficult, in particularly with a lower screen resolution. Any lower and I would most likely need to scroll horizontally as well as vertically across a lot websites. In terms of portability, the small size makes carrying it around easy. It does weigh around ...

Review of Samsung NC10

I managed to pick up this netbook for £299 which is oustanding value - from play.com. The netbook is very light and can fit almost anywhere - it is very easy to carry around - you can set up anywhere and very easily connect to the internet where available. The netbook looks very stylish and everything is laid out well. The keyboard is the biggest i have ever seen on a netbook - its almost full size which is a bonus as I have a lot of typing to do. ...
...made very small which is a nuisance - you do get used to it but it is not ideal. The specs for this netbook are impressive I mean a massive 160GB hard drive, a 10.2 inch screen. 1 GB of RAM and a 1.6GHZ intel atom processor. This spec allows the netbook to operate very fastly - the whole 6 months I have had this netbook - it has never froze and I run a lot of demanding programs at once e.g Word and Paintshop. The 160GB goes a very long way - its ...

And I'm glad he did suggest the notebook and not the laptop as my portable browsing world has just changed dramatically; only this week sat in the garden in that gorgeous spring sunshine rating away on dooyoo. And with an impressive five hour battery life I may just be able to keep up with the torrent of new reviews on site. ...

Review of Samsung NC10

...caught my eye was the Samsung NC10. For ages, I wanted the really sleek and stylish NC10, in white, however after seeing one in real life, in comparison to the Black model (the one i eventually settled for), it didnt seem to look as nice. Despite the smaller size, i dont feel that I am missing any functions or features of my old Envy. I have a near to full size keyboard, a decent sized 10.2" screen (which is not as small as it appears to be once ...
...town, to pick up my Samsung NC10, in gloss black. Being someone who is always after a bargain, I also eventually managed to talk a 3 Mobile USB dongle and an 8GB memory stick into the deal, at no extra cost, all for the price of £329.99, very reasonable considering my now failed HP Envy had cost virtually twice that price. Rushing home, unboxing my lil netbook, I realised that the NC10 really IS small, so much so I initially doubted purchasing it, ...

Review of Samsung NC10

...opt to pick up the Samsung NC10 netbook. So you may have noticed that this is a netbook and be wondering what this exactly means...a netbook is a smaller, lighter weight laptop that is simply designed to handle internet browsing, e-mail and office software. The question I was asked by my wife before she picked this little gadget up was would this be able to play games? The answer is yes but of a limited variety as this is not designed with the same ...
...to the actual netbook itself...the Samsung is fantastically well designed, quiet running, has a bright and vibrant screen which means that despite the smaller screen size you should not be suffering eye strain. The netbook does take some time to setup and you will need to do a few restarts but once you have done all of this the system is very impressive in its load time and also in the time taken to shut down. With its 3 usb ports it is very easy ...

Review of Samsung NC10

...all SD cards perfectly, and samsung make no claims about HCSD but i have used mine with 8GB to no joy and 16GB with no problem! so I would suggest HCSD to be hit and miss and suggest checking online to see what others have had success with. It would be nice to get a proper case with and HDMI support is always nice, however this is an incredible little machine that does so much more than you expect it to - I now find myself using it more than my desktop ...

...joining the ranks. However the samsung NC10 has proven to be a great addition to the market, and managed to undercut nearly all of their major competitors, even if it can't beat the acer aspire one. The NC10 is the usual netbook affair with regards to specs, it is fitted with the defacto standard intel atom, 160GB HDD and 1GB memory, this provides decent performance for all your web application needs and some circa 1999 gaming (no-one buys one for ...
...of the netbook, and the samsung comes with quality to the hilt. The solid build of the netbook combined with it's spacious (by netbook standards) keyboard helps to make using such small devices less of a pain, and everything just feels right with it. the ports and connectivity are good too, with 3 USB ports, a VGA out port (for hooking up to an external monitor) and a 10/100 ethernet port.vBattery life is pretty standard, generally speaking the netbook ...

Review of Samsung NC10

I am writing the review i am doing now with one of these. EASE OF USE. It was extremely easy to set up when i got it and for people who are like me and not so great with net books or computers or anything of the sort its a god send. The keys on the keyboard are great to use there very easy to type with the system recovery option on it is also very easy to use which is handy and it gives you the option to create a restore point almost straight away ...
...you don't have to really worry about having to find the tools you need on it. There is great instructions provided in writing form on leaflet and on the net book itself and they are easy to find. HOW GOOD IT WORKS Iv had it a while now and its still working brilliantly and for someone like me that tends to break things like this every time she comes into contact with them i think its lasting extremely well.

Review of Samsung NC10

Samsung's NC10 is a very good netbook. I bought it in December 2008, as a Christmas gift for my mother. I wanted to teach her how to use the internet, but honestly, getting her a netbook was a bad choice. Why? Because her eyesight is worsening, and the small screen annoyed her to no end. For me, however, this small wonder ended up being the perfect fit. I'm a programmer, so what I require of a netbook is a good keyboard, a good screen, and a good ...
...but that is not a problem as you can get used to it. What's important is the tactile feedback of the keys, which is of top quality on the NC10. Layout is also very important, and the NC10 doesn't disappoint there either. ctrl is to the left of fn, the enter key is big, the mousepad doesn't get in the way of typing, etc. * The small screen is not an issue at all, as contrast is good enough to make text readable. The small resolution(1024x600)however, ...

Review of Samsung NC10

...I have is that the samsung website just shows their software as working with XP, however some of the software for the camera etc work perfectly well when downloading. The whole feel and solidity of this netbook, as well as the large keyboard and screen helped to sell this to me. The manual is in electronic form but the netbook comes with all the DVD's necessary to perform a re-installation if you completely mess up. A small portion of the hard drive ...
...On initial boot the Samsung software kicks in and asks you to perform a backup of your current system and offers to partition your hard drive for you. I chose the advanced options and allocated all the hard disk as one partition instead of reducing the size for the backup. I did this because I had a USB memory stick and that is where my backup data will reside. I would rather keep maximum space for all my files. My conclusion all in all is that ...

...while on the move. The Samsung NC10 is in my view one of the very best netbooks out there, the keyboard is just shy of being full size so no cramped typing (this review was written on it) Combine this with the atom processor which is set at 1.6GHz and a 160Gb harddrive and i feel we're onto a winner here. Exceptional performane at a realativly small price, sure it may be slightly more than other competitors but you really are paying for what you ...

I use the NC10 round the house for coursework, work and even during my work lunch.

I have an extensive playlist on Spotify and listen to the various playlists throughtout ...

To conclude I am very happy with my purchase. The netbook connects to the internet wirelessly ...

...for 299.99, which for a samsung laptop is a good price. The screen is much larger than most of the other netbooks which are in the same price range, the processor is not light at 1.6 ghz but it is fast enough for browsing the internet, playing some old games and watching movies. Also 1 gig of ram really helps the speed, however i would not recommend installing vista. The lid of the laptop is very shiny and produces a nice finish which you would expect ...
...keep this netbook so small Samsung have not included a cd or dvd drive with the laptop, therefore a external one is required if you want to watch dvd's or install some computer games. My experience with this netbook has been very good, the keyboard is a nice size for a netbook, so you can easily update you blog on the move. Also inbuilt wifi means that you can connect to any free public hotspot. Also 3 usb ports means that you cna have you printer, ...
