Toshiba NB100

Advantages: Nice look, good battery life.
Disadvantages: Too small.

...actually pretty impressive. Function The notebook works quite well with wireless internet and doesn't cut off often as I have found with wi-fi on some other laptops. It also has an impressive battery life, in a recent car journey, I found it lasted about 3 and 3/4 hours, easily enough time for all of the film I was watching as well as some of another. It is available in two versions, Ubuntu Linux and Windows XP Home., but the Linux has 512Mb of RAM and an 80Gb hard disk, the Windows one has 1Gb of RAM and a 120Gb drive. I personally own the windows version, since I know more about the operating system and prefer the high memory levels. The rest of it's specifications are pretty average for a note book and it runs as such. Overall The Toshiba NB100 is great if you're japanese and/or believe things should be made...

Review of Toshiba NB100

There is nothing exceptional about this Netbook.

Advantages: Attractive outlook, useful bundled of softwares, very very useful networking options.
Disadvantages: stuffed keyboard, poor ram, expensive, almost useless webcam, poor resolution.

...Netbooks have been introduced to consumers as the secondary option of laptop, which allows them to perform the basic computing tasks, office works and web surfing but not for extensive uses. Consumers can get them in much cheaper price than laptops. Having said that, this Toshiba netbook is not something outstanding or standout choice to go for. It does not perform exceptionally poor or exceptionally better than other netbooks. The processor is intel atom N270 with processing 1.6 GHz. It's a single core processor with modest speed. Atom 200 series is designed as single core with having the ability to perform 2 instructions per cycle. So, just for very normal office works it's alright. Though in the bright side, Intel Atom processors come with speedstep technology, which allows less consumption of power and battery longevity as well...

Twee little Tosh?..

Advantages: Compact and Powerful
Disadvantages: Fiddly

...powerful miniscule computers compared to the compromises built into scaling such functionality so far down so that it fits on a phone). I am happy to carry my phone separately and just boot up my Netbook PC when the need dictates. With a plethora of choice for me familiarity and trust in the Toshiba brand attracted me to the mini marvel. I gleefully selected My Toshiba NB100 from Amazon, electronically submitted payment of £249.98 and waited for the postman to arrive. This he did some two days later in April 2009 bringing a simply boxed package containing a Toshiba NB100-12A 8.9-inch Netbook, Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM, 120GB HDD, Windows XP Home When you look on Amazon now you will see this model has already been superceded by a version with 160 GB HDD,?? but what the heck I am really quite pleased with mine. Reasons For Believing...

Review of Toshiba NB100

Small and cute way to the World Wide Web...

Advantages: Small and portable, Ubuntu tweaked for use on a netbook makes it simple
Disadvantages: Can get warm, driver issues

...I have a regular full size PC and was fed up with carrying my large lap top around with me, especially as it was old and fairly low spec. In fact I noticed that the specs were in line with the netbooks that were available today, so they caught my eye. I liked the idea of something portable and this model with its 8.9 inch screen and quality brand name seemed like the ideal thing. It is available in 2 flavours but don't put off by the Linux Ubuntu version having lower specs. The fact is, such tailored operating system requires less resources. It is a tweaked version of Ubuntu designed the run on netbooks and is useage is very simple. Adding programs is as simple as ticking the new ones you want installed from a list you download online. The whole screen (which is very sharp and bright ) is filled by a set of categories like...

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

...and basically not do anything demanding. I have got 8 hours using the batttery manager - i placed everything at the lowest settings and got my 7 and a half hours. But after a recharge with everything on lowest settings - running some demanding programs - i got 4 and a half hours - now whilst this is still good - its not that impressive. If you switch to max performance the netbook is superb - everything is much faster and more enjoyable but then you will be getting a maximum battery life of 3 hours. Then there is the fact that batteries lose power after a while anyway. The netbook can also get very hot - whether its charging or not - so dont put it on bare legs :-) The charger is good and it doesn't take long to charge - especially when you can use the netbook whilst it is charging. The sleeve for storage is losuy and does nothing to...

Review of Samsung NC10

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...

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...

Review of Samsung NC10

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

...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...

Review of Samsung NC10

An overall good netbook

Advantages: Portability, good size keyboard, webcam of very good quality
Disadvantages: Touchpad will be annoying for some

...I purchased this netbook from Currys for around £279 after having touchpad roughness issues with my first netbook purchase (I got a [different] replacement), and I'm quite happy with this netbook. This netbook comes with 1GB of memory, 160GB hard drive space (I believe), Intel Atom N270 processor, 10.1" screen and Windows XP Home Edition. The netbook I purchased from Currys came with a 3-cell battery with average battery life of up to 2 hours 40 minutes. The overall look of the netbook is appealing although can get very greasy easily (especially the top cover and the screen itself - but a good wipe of the top cover is all that is needed to clean again). -- Keyboard -- The keyboard is quite nicely sized, may not be to all tastes but I can type on it pretty much fine - may take some adjustment as with most other netbooks keyboards but...

Review of Dell Inspiron Mini 10v

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

...10 is very slightly nippier than some other netbooks such as the msi wind. The screen is also the standard 10.2" 1024x600 too, but it is a very good quality screen, and puts most other netbooks to shame. The deciding factor in the netbook market is the quality 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 will last 3-4 hours before dying. overall there isn't much to criticise this netbook for, sure it could come with a SSD drive...
