I bought my NC10 to replace my laptop which was just too heavy to be carrying to and from work everyday.
I purchased my NC10 on a promotion weekend from a high street store beating online prices significantly. I was trying to avoid big bulky items to carry as I was on crutches at the time. Not recommended but straight out of box into my rucksack in the shop from which it was purchased. Didn't notice much weight difference in my bag at all.
The Samsung NC10 has served me dilligently now being used more and more instead of my normal laptop as battery life is excellent. I use the NC10 round the house for coursework, work and even during my work lunch.
The screen is bright and very easy to read, I primarily use the NC10 at home for surfing the net to shop and for music in the background. I have an extensive playlist on Spotify and listen to the various playlists throughtout the day and evening.
The keyboard is slightly smaller than a full size keyboard layout but takes very little time to get used to. There are the usual amount of usb ports (3) a VGA adapter so that the NC10 may be attached to a full size monitor. A LAN port and headphone and microphone sockets are also included.
Upgrade wise the memory module can be easily replaced to beef up performance and there many articles on the internet to help you achieve this.
Out of the box the NC10 come with power adapter, Operating software (Windows XP), Samsung driver disc and a sleeve to protect the netbook. Some may wish to replace the sleeve but I have a rucksack that provides adequate protection.
The Samsung NC10 carries the Samsung distinctive look laptop look an attractive shiny exterior which can be prone to finger smudges and a great screen for most everyday use.
To conclude I am very happy with my purchase. The netbook connects to the internet wirelessly succesfully every time at several stored locations and has been a very reliable travel assistant.
Advantages: Very good battery life (5-6 hours), large keyboard for a netbook and nice size screen at 10.2 inch Disadvantages: Touch Pad is fairly small
