Samsung NC10 Review

Advantages: Good battery life, nice screen, near enough a full size keyboard
Disadvantages: small-ish trackpad

...I recieved this netbook for christmas and all i can say is 'wow'! My background with computers is vast having built many and installed multiple operating systems on each, however i have never owned a laptop. Therefore i was a little dubious about some of the things such as keyboard size, processing power and battery life. I was looking for a laptop which is very small in physical size while packing a punch so it could still carry out multiple tasks. Buying a full size (15.4") laptop seemed a bit pointlesss as i have two tower pc's which are my main machines, so this was just to be about casual surfing/ reading emails/ browsing 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...

Samsung NC10 Netbook

Advantages: Lots of connectivity - Big keyboard - excellent screen - Good spec
Disadvantages: bad sleeve to store netbook - battery life not that long - small touchpad

...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. One disadvantage of this is that the mousepad has been 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...

Samsung NC10 Black netbook a lightweight and excellent netbook

Advantages: Great screen, excellent battery life,
Disadvantages: Poor speakers, personal headphones or additional speakers definitely help

...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...

SAMSUNG NP-NC10 Blue Netbook 1.6ghz Atom Processor

Advantages: Robust, Large Keyboard, Large Screen, Good Support.
Disadvantages: 1 Memory Slot, No Mobile Broadband Sim Slot, Specific keyboard key in unusual place.

...This netbook has to be one of my favourites, boasting a solid case, 10' screen and a fast bootup to Windows XP. Having played around with a few netbooks recently all boasting similar specifications, I can honestly say that I was not disappointed with this offering from Samsung. There are some negatives that let this review down slightly, so I will get these out of the way first. 1. The "\" key is located on the right side of the keyboard next to the "/" key. This takes some getting used to when swapping from a normal keyboard and you tend to select this by accident instead of the shift key. 2. There is no mobile broadband sim socket, so you have to buy one of the mobile broadband usb sticks which is fine but it would have been neater to simply keep a sim permanently in the netbook. 3. The BIOS on my netbook was out of date...

Still a good netbook

Advantages: Good ergonomics, rugged, good battery life, matte screen
Disadvantages: Touchpad is a bit small and doesn't have separate buttons

...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 battery. * The keyboard is excellent. The keys are small 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...

Review of Samsung NC10

Samsung hits the netbook world for 6

Advantages: sturdy, reliable, quite nippy for a netbook, relativley cheap
Disadvantages: sound, no ssd option, still can't beat the aspire one

...With the netbook market already saturated to the point of that resembling a cat's fur when thrown into a bath (with almost as much fur flying between the competitors), it would seem that we don't need yet another standard netbook 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 gaming anyway, but you've always got to at least try). It really isn't anything special in this department, but all netbooks are pretty similar anyway. However the nc...

AMAZING

Advantages: Read review, too many to mention in this box
Disadvantages: errm, are you kidding? NONE that i know of

...'ERROR' this message on my old HP Envy was what sparked me to think, 'crap, new laptop needed here'. I am currently studying for my A-Levels, so my laptop plays a BIG part in my studies, holding all of my work, and being a source for information gathering (using the internet), and I can't afford for my laptop to break on me. After sifting through the HUNDREDS of models on offer at a reasonable price, I decided I would follow the Netbook route. Netbooks, being smaller and more lightweight than their laptop cousins, seem to be the way forward. The one that really 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...

Samsung's Neat Little Netbook

Advantages: Good performance, Good connectivity options, Good webcam, 160GB HDD, Upgradeable
Disadvantages: Not very good accessories, Picks up Fingerprints, Weird button under touchpad

...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...

The jet black Oyster with a real Pearl inside..

Advantages: Great battery mileage
Disadvantages: Cap lock button

...on the hard-drive of unscrupulous browsing thank you very much, if you know what I mean. So when my little brother (who is on great money) dragged me down PC World and said no more Win98, money is no option, so what do you want for your birthday? I quickly pointed to the lap top section. But he works in I.T and pointed at the notebook bit, in particular, this Samsung NC10, and so here I am writing my first dooyoo review on it, all very appropriate. 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. Not only do all those naughty videos on you tube load first time and actually...
