Netbooks will be a significant new growth segment in the overall notebook category, as many have already said, the Samsung NC10 mini laptop is a great machine. The NC10 is clearly the best netbook on the market right now. The size is just right, the screen bezel doesn’t appear to be huge as on other netbooks, and the keyboard is excellent, the NC10 runs exceptionally quiet and cool!
Samsung NC10 Design and Dimensions:
The Samsung NC10 has a very handsome finish that absolutely will not show fingerprints and seemed worth the higher price for the better keyboard layout and better looks. The samsung NC10 is a very slick little machine with a light, relatively powerful, good battery life and compact design. In addition, excellent Samsung customer service.
Touch Pad:
The touch pad is pretty short (up and down) so some adjustments needed to be made to the pointer speed and momentum to get it up and down without retreading over and over.
Long Battery Life:
A netbook’s greatest strength is the superior mobility, as many have said, the 6-cell, 5200mAh battery life is great! The battery life is amazing with 7 hours and more. You can easily get more than 7 HOURS on this netbook.
Weight and size:
Weight. It is light, but because it’s small it seems dense. It is still very light for a laptop, even lighter than the Macbook Air.
Keyboard:
The NC10 probably has best keyboard of all the netbooks, the keys have a great feel to them, and working on the NC10 doesn’t feel cramped at all.
Display Screen and Resolution:
The 10″ form factor is small enough to be portable but big enough to comfortably view and type on and it is very bright and clear with 1024×600 resolutions. The NC10 is perfectly usable outside or in a brightly lit room.
Verdict:
If you are looking to buy a netbook, I would definitely recommend the Samsung NC10!
