...After my white Asus Eee PC 1000H got stolen, I decided to 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 an award for it. The NC10 comes in three flavours, those being black, blue and white. I chose the black as it looks prettier. The white one also looks great but I figured that it would start to pick up dirt and go a bit black, especially the keyboard and touchpad. The white version has a matte lid so doesn't pick up...

Advantages: Spacious keyboard and speedy boot-up Disadvantages: Slightly dubious design
...The Samsung NC10 weighs 1.3kg and the solid weight makes the NC10 feel more durable and steady. I like the matt finish and its slightly rough texture. What's more, the battery has an amazing life of up to five hours in standard mode . If you adjust the settings, battery life may just get up to an extra hour.
The NC10 measures 260 x 170 x 30mm, with the 6-cell battery at the back, which added an extra 5mm to the total length. At first, you will feel uncomfortable when put on your lap but when it's put on the table, it raises the screen a little, making the whole thing ergonomically-friendly.
Comparative to the ASUS Eee PC 1000, the screen of the NC10 does not feel as solid.
About the system, it's very smooth and quick, as it boots in just 29 seconds. I also like its performance, as in, it runs Microsoft Office with no...
