Samsung NC10 - with 6 cell battery (Netbook) Reviews: Windows XP Home 10.2" Screen Laptop computer

+ Good size screen and keyboard. Digital web cam is a great feature for using with Skype etc.
Overal Nice design of whole netbook very functional and practicle. Great for uni notes and last minuite research - portable

- The touch pad and mouse buttons are a bit sensitve and small, but a usb mouse can be used so it is not a major issue.
It does not come loaded with XP programs such as Word, Excel etc. So you have to buy your own, but it depends what you want to use it for.

+ Nice light attractive netbook which does everything you would expect of it.

- Mouse just off center so there is a tendency to move the page up/down not just the curser

+ Slim Design
Easy to use
Fast performance

- None so far

+ Compared with all other netbooks this one offers the best combination of performance, quality of build and pricet. It appears to be a very good product and does all I require - very happy.

- None.

+ perfect netbook - in every way - keyboard is good to use and all features are user friendly.
battery life excellent and the size and weight are superb

- it would be better if it had more memory but this can be upgraded at very little cost. and Windows Vista would be for me a better operating system.

+ Portable, nice keyboard, good display,

- The inbuilt help does not tell you all the keyboard shortcuts.

+ Very portable great screen light weight.

- No CD drive needs external drive to plug in to USB

+ Size, Quality, Battery Life

- Small trackpad; whose edges are not well enough defined.
The restrictions of the Atom processor is noticable after using a Desktop PC
Glossy surface a pain to keep

+ size, easy to use

- performance not perfect. Still crashes etc

+ mobility

- over use with such a small screen ...tendancy to headaches, and eyestrain.

+ The machine has everything required in a nice neat package

- Can't think of any bad points about this machine it is superb!

+ Excellent all round performance, still the best netbook out there by far

- Probably needs a larger hard drive perhaps 500GB or at least 250GB

+ Both my partner and i love it.Performance wise it covers our every need.
It found and connected to our home network easily
It is extremely light and portable and as been used in every room in the house.
And also outside on the patio .
It was inexpensive and does what it says on the packet.

- No cd disc drive, but i plugged in a USB Portable drive in order to install microsoft office.

+ Everything

- None

+ Small and sleek design, lightweight and good battery life

- maybe size of memory

+ Light, with good-sized keyboard. Excellent battery-life.Nice design and colour.

- Track-pad can be a little fiddly and unresponsive at times, but a minor issue as I tend to use a wireless mouse most times.

- x

+ Brilliant, dont think you would be able to find anything better for same price bracket

- None that i've come across so far

+ Battery Life and great performance for a netbook.
Bright Screen
You can switch the mousepad on/off if you have an external mouse
You can switch the backlight off if you are leaving the computer to do something lengthy (download/defrag etc.)

- Mouse Pad could be a little better, but it is a netbook and we have an external mouse anyway.

+ keyboard

- no software installed

+ Extremely portable as it is compact and lightweight yet does not feel significantly smaller than a full size laptop when using it. Perhaps this s aided by the nearly full size keyboard. Easy to connect to the internet. Works well with peripheral devices i.e. CD/DVD player, memory stick, camera.

- Mouse pad sometimes a little sluggish otherwise I have not found anything wrong with it.

+ Good battery life, well made and nice keyboard

- non

+ Windows XP, long battery life

- Not found one yet

+ Its just what I needed. The touch pad is a bit small but I like the scroll area. It just takes a bit of getting used to.

+ Great battery life. Size is great for portability. Keyboard is good. Built in webcam a bonus.

- Track pad not so great.

+ The best point is that it is so small and good looking and you really can sit and surf with it on your lap in the lounge which is why I wanted it. I haven't had it that long myself and dont really use computers as a work tool at home so I can't comment on its capability but I am looking forward to using it when I am travelling to stay in touch. For my personal use it has everything the lap top has.

- To start with connectivity was a major problem I believe it has to do with LAN, also there is a network provider seems to be trying to take over from my own provider. I have read that others suffer this problem too and it may be an NC10 quirk, I am persevering and remain calm if I lose my internet.
The keyboard is a mystery too, why do I have my @ key under shift 2 when it shows it to be on the middle row? I have read that I can copy my word and excel packages over to it using a memory key have not managed to do that yet although my photos copied over fine.

+ very pleased with battery life, looks goods good for internet

- A really bad point, if a room warm or if you your fingers are not bone dry the mouse is very hard to work on the key board,

+ it is really quick and really light

- the. only problem is me trying to get used to a smaller keyboard

+ Everything except the touch pad

- The touch pad

+ Size, Weight, Price

- Slow, Low Resolution

+ Excellent battery life

+ I just love it! When my PC was infected with a virus the NC10 kept me going, Its cool, cant think why I have waited this long to buy one

+ Fast, lightweight, stylish, simple.

- I hate touch pads and this is no exception. The select bar is too narrow and awkward to use.

+ small light but with good performance. Very stylish

- Not enough USB ports. I immediately had to buy a hub for it to allow connection of external DVD drive, keyboard, printer and mouse when working as a base station

+ Ideal for carrying as hand baggage. very nicely finished. Keyboard good size and has a quality feel.

- Touch pad takes a bit of getting used to.

+ Fast and handy to carry around

- None as yet

+ Light and easy to use

- Crashed a couple of times

+ Small, compact and functional

- Track pad is fiddley to use

+ Build quality, software provided, size and ease of use

- The touchpad is very sensitive (despite adjustment) and is not user friendly. I bought a wireless mouse which was much better to use

+ Good size keyboard and screen

- None so far

+ Light, portable, great performance, does exactly what it's meant to.

- Small screen (but it is a netbook) and trim a bit tacky. Cover needs constant wiping to keep it looking great.

+ excellent display, battery life brilliant

- none

+ Great machine, excellent value for money. I just regret no buying this sooner!

- Take a bit of time to get use to the slightly smaller keyboard - but the only minor bad point

+ Great size, looks really nice, keyboard is good size and easy to type on. Battery life is great also

- Touch pad isn't that great

+ lightweight and easy to use keyboard

- the finger movement pad is not very responsive

+ Well built, reliable, excellent performance, really easy to use the almost full size keyboard (makes a huge difference in this siz of a machine). I cannot fault this product at all. I find I can use it as effectively as my 15.4" machine. Everything is well sorted.

- Not one bad point

+ Great product, well designed.

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Superb battery life - getting up to 7 hours. Clear display for both web use and video

- Somethings hangs during surfing

+ Can't think of anything I don't like about this little beauty. My brother brought is other half an Acer with a 8.9" screen. I thought mine was going to be a bit bigger but the casing is the same size and the 10" screen allows me to watch a movie (which is naff on hers, lol). She was slightly green with envy. Also show it to a work mate, she brought that very day.

- none so far

+ I am delighted with the Samsung NC10 blue. It is lightweight and the battery seems to last for ages. I read numerous reviews about all different makes of notebooks and am so glad that i decided to buy this one.
It is so handy, you can just pop it in your bag and take it anywhere with you.

- There aren't any.

+ Easy to use with good battery life making it excellent when out and about. The touchpad mouse can get in the way when typing, but it has a function to switch off the mouse which i beneficial. Good indication of battery power and warns when low battery so you can plug into mains without losing work. Although, beware, when the low battery life warning appears you don't have too long before the battery goes, so make sure you save work if you dont have the mains charger to hand so you don't lose it.

- NON SO FAR

+ Superb battery, highly portable, fantastic speed.

- Fiddly mousepad.

+ Good design and excellent battery life

+ size, battery life and connectivity

- trackpad poor, I bought a bluetooth mini mouse

+ Extremely portable, decent keyboard, better battery life than similar products from competitors

- None that I can think of.

+ Good design and nice to use. Fit for purpose purchased.

- Could be faster and battery life not quite as good as advertised.

+ Compact and more than adequate replacement for a laptop. Surprisingly quick in performance. Very portable. It does everything I need it to do.

- Cannot handle the rather vague touch pad - have to use a USB mouse. Sound very tinny, but probably should not expect anything better from a machine of this size.

+ The style and design are lovely. The battery life is excellent. The overall size is great. Bought for my daughter who will be working away from home for a year and will have very limited space to live in. Will be great to keep in touch.

- Have'nt been able to find any so far.

+ Windows XP operating system. Fast booting. Fast web page changes. Supports Office/Word. Very nice keyboard.

- Although lightweight, battery could be even lighter. Would have liked pink or red colour. Right-hand shift key a bit too far right for touch typists.

+ Good dimentions,both unit and keyboard
Samsung device manager is usefull and easy to use
Ease of RAM upgrade
Screen easy to see outdoors (On sunny days)
Blutooth usefull and responsive

- None so far

+ Long battery life, nice colour (I have the dark blue one!), quality speakers, webcam and screen display, 160GB HD is a good size. It is not the smallest netbook in the market but size and weight are fine, as it ensures good size keyboard. In general good value for money.

- Design wise, could be prettier but still a nice looking netbook.
Why they don’t sell the LINUX version? I would have preferred it than MS Windows version.

+ Size, keyboard, speed, screen-size

- No real bad points

+ A good solid, well designed net-book that fulfills our expectations

+ Battery life and classy looks are high on the list of plusses with good keyboard action and layout, a large and quiet hard disk, 3 USB and VGA out, built in bluetooth and wireless connectivity make this a very useful netbook.
