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

+ Reviewer left no comment

- Cannot play HD divx files

+ Very stylish and robust design with excellent keyboard. Performs very well for everyday tasks and is very portable

- Perhaps a little large and heavy to be considered a true netbook so more like a very small laptop.

+ All the above

- Nothing!

+ Everything!

- Nothing! Buy it!

+ Looks great, battery life excellent

+ screen, speed, battery life

- track pad a little small

+ a fantastic all round pc.

- newmodal launched !

+ very small and light, I have the white one and am very happy with the overall look. Its easy to use and the keyboard is pretty much the same accept there is the \ key next to the shift on the right hand side instead of left so i keep pressin this instead of shift. the camera in it and mike are good to (for the price n size).

- the size of the screen really is tiny, it might sound alot but it takes a while to get used to. also the fact it has not got a cd player is very very inconvenient, I had to buy one to go with it because i have alot of things that need to be used via a cd. On top of that although fairly reliable, the mouse pad is very small and i would recommend a mini mouse instead. Oh and the little sleeve thing you get with it looks nice and protects it bit but is a hassel and doesnt do that much.
These are all minor really, but when i did get it i tried to connect to the internet and there was a promlem with the driver so i had to download this from the website n re-install it. the customer services were very helpful though.

+ Small and lightweight. Great battery life (average for me is around 8 hours). Good wireless range. Great looks!

- Keyboard takes a while to get used to, but nothing major.

+ love this little notepad, fits in the bag easily, all of the family use it for various projects.
I highly reccommend this project for anyone studying, great resource to download and research at the library etc.
Aesthetically it is pleasing, it is easy to carry and very lightweight.
I find it easy to use and the mouse isn't too temperamental.

- Can't really think of any, it does what it says on the box. daughter would like it to have CD capability but it is not a laptop.

+ Absolute perfect size. Very stylish and sleek.Lightweight.

- none thus far

+ good keyboard size
lovely screen
excellent other than the points mentioned below.

- shift key is in an awkward space.
internet explorer would be better if it was the next version up so that you can zoom in on websites that aren't very good for viewing on a netbook.
the position of the battery means that it has a tendency to tip backwards which creates a potential to fall backwards which could be bad.

+ Battery life is really good compared to other netbooks the same size.
Perfect for travelling
asthetically pleasing

+ Superb battery life, good keyboard, good overall design

- Could be a littl quicker to load programmes

+ Big keyboard in a small package.

- None obvious

+ My wife is delighted with the NC10! Light weight, loads of battery life and easy to use.

- Keyboard needs getting used to - slightly different layout

+ Handy size with PC performance

- Could do with a GPS reciever to use mobile in the car etc

+ The screen size is perfect for a portable device. Good size keyboard with quality clicks on all buttons. Battery life is exceptional and the best i have seen, approx 7-8hrs is brilliant. Dont notice the weight difference between this and smaller netbooks, its negligible really. Perfect for web browsing or office apps on the move. Added bonus of bluetooth.

- Mouse pad can be a bit awkward to use as it has many functions and sensitivity. It often takes a couple of attempt to scroll the screen or even move the pointer. it sometimes zooms in by accident if my nail touches the mousepad at same time as finger - It has a zoom function.

+ Just about as good as you can get in a package like this.

- Touch pad takes a bit of getting used to

+ bright screen
good battery life
looks

- touch pad

+ I love this Netbook, I researched Net books for about 4 months, came back to this one everytime. I get max 6 hours battery life from this. Great Graphics card, one of the best for netbooks too.
Is great, can even fit in my handbag.

- Getting used to a small keyboard.

+ All the above

- sound quality

+ Looks great

- Let down by simple key board fault - the keys don't work i.e. you have use " in order to get @ I couldn't bare to go through the hassel of changing the machine. not good!! Anyone reading this feel free to contact me and change my machine.

+ Looks good, nice clear display, large hard drive capacity.

- I don't like the feel of the track pad, but thats about it really. Keep getting "blue screen of death" every now and then, but I put that down to software issues not the netbook itself so need to try re-installing.

+ Although it's not the smallest netbook you can buy, I think the advantages of the larger keyboard outweight this. I bought this netbook to take abroad, and to use to work on my dissertation. It is very portable, and with it's excellent battery life and the ease with which one can type on it, I would really recommend this.

- None really! A great buy

+ Ideal size for transporting

+ Sizw & weight is fantastic for travelling. So much easier to transport than a full size laptop. Battery life is fantastic. Great little function keys make certain task really easy eg. volume & brightness control, sleep, etc.

- For 1G ram it seem slow in certain situations. The design is not the best but that is the last factor to consider

+ Looks great and works like a charm! I've had no drama's at all since purchasing my NC10, and out of the box it was ready to roll.
Asthetically pleasing, and with a very nice feeling and responsive keyboard, the only one draw-back would have to be the limited space, positioning and feel of the touch-pad.

- The mouse touch-pad is very small, and could do with a better edge to let the user know exactly where about their finger is without having to look down.

+ very nice design with long battery life clear screen and excellent keyboard

- the lack of CD-ROm can be a nuisence, but it's the price you pay for a compact low weight machine.

+ Size,Design, Screen quality, keyboard, software.

- Mouse pad, Battery life (sometimes)

+ Great design and works well. Battery life is great

- Cant think of any

+ super keyboard which is well designed. Good specification and well built. A good netbook that delivers.

- battery life not quite upto expectations. Trackpad can be a tricky to get used to.

+ Lightweight. Compact.

- No DVD drive - but can add one.

+ Overall very pleased with the Samsun NC10. Portability, style and performance all very good as is the battery life.

- No bad points yet, although the touchpoint mouse takes some getting used to.

+ Bought this to take holiday. Everthing went very smoothly. It was easy to carry around and to connect to the internet with WiFi. The screen size was perfect for the purpose and we will continue to use it at home. My regular computer screen seemed enormous when I returned home!

- Memory should be 2 Gig standard for the very small cost involved. I'm sure most people chuck out the 1 Gig and replace it with 2 Gig.

+ great netbook. long battery life

- mouse pad abit too small

+ compact,great battery life and performance......superb!

- poor sound quality for music play back

+ Small and Neat product with good battery life.

- After 2 weeks the mouse buttons became loose and after 4 weeks something internally started making a loud clicking sound, so we returned the unit very disappointed.

+ Good performance, good screen and very quiet. Good battery life.

- Touchpad is poor.

+ Perfect for its purpose - a travelling PC with Internet connections all ready and waiting to go.

- Not sufficient instruction before starting for the first time - as a result I followed the recommended route and ended up with the hard drive in two equal partitions of 80 GB. Not the end of the world, but would have preferred some detailed advice - it was onthe computer but inaccessible until the initial start-up was completed.

+ Design, size & weight on the positive

- Performance, speed on the negative

+ Quality, battery life, portability

- None

+ Beautifully designed piece of equipment, does just what I need it to do, ie, quick internet access without any hiccups.

- I've had the netbook for a month now and I haven't came across any negative aspects.

+ Stylish, compact, lightweight, excellent battery life.

- Some text on webpages is too small to read

+ very easy to use screen is nice/bright all my friends like the model as well pity u dont do more colours

- none at all

+ Compact and good design.

- Battery Life Could Be longer

+ Great little Netbook - very well designed. Fantastic screen, the keyboard is well layed out and with the bigger keys it's very easy to use. It's very light weight and compact, perfect size to take on the move. Absolutely delighted with this product would highly recommend it.

- The Samsung Netbook cover provided isn't very good, I suppose it's OK as a dust cover. Had to buy a proper padded 10" Netbook case for better protection.

+ Exellent design and performance

- Mouse pad is a bit sluggish. System has developed a fault with screen flicker within the 1st month.

+ Very good to have handy in the lounge or bedroom as light, discreet and fires up quite quickly.

- Would be better if it had a separate mouse as the touch pad at the front is a bit difficult for less-able users

+ Sleek, well finished and very fast. Easy to perform a RAM upgrade if you so wish

- The tracking area is not the best; but that could be as much down to my fat fingers as a design flaw

+ good size, long lasting battery and performance. small size but almost standard keyboard.

- doesn't have office installed so no word, excel etc.

+ Ideal machine for people on the move or needing to surf the web and use basic office software. A great little machine!

- Touchpad not the best I have used - but am not a fan of them anyway. Have bought a laser mouse that works fine with the netbook.

+ nice machine

- keyboard is crap

+ A very lightweight and portable netbook - exactly what we bought it for - with a solid six to eight hours of battery life and attractive, eye-catching design. Does what we want it too, ably coping with Skype, web surfing, web-based games and casual (eg Big Fish) downloaded games. A good price, too! Highly recommended.

- Speakers are very weedy (but then, it's no hardship to plug in headphones or external speakers); the right-shift key is further right than you'd expect if you're used to a full-size keyboard, which still troubles me...! Other than that, really nothing bad to say.

+ Compact, with great battery life. Bluetooth

- Low memory, keyboard can feel a bit cramped A sim card module for mobile broadband would be very suitable considering it is designed as a travelling netbook. Will probably upgrade to Vista basic at some point as it runs better than XP with low memory for me, or maybe Windows 7 if it proves worthwhile

+ easy to use compact, but not too small, good attery life, looks lovely

+ battery llife is very good... and is very light as well..

- performance is too slow that it can't compensate the good points of the notebook

+ good keyboard, excellent features

- No CD ?DVD drive- but as expected for a netbook

+ Great battery life, just last and last. Design is good, nice easy to use Keyboard.

- Same limitations as most netbooks!

+ it is small, light and compact and so very comfortable to use for research work etc. Battery life is really good.

- the sound is very bad.

+ Everything about this laptop is great, except for one thing, explained below.

- The mouse is not very sentitive. This is very frustrating.

+ V compact and lightweight.

- Annoying screen zoom facility on the mousepad which is v easy to accidently activate.

+ Small easily portable and good all round performance

- Only gave myself a week or so to learn it before taking it on holiday - needed some additional software which was difficult to download

+ I really love my NC10! Its white and stylish and i was generally very surprised at the battery life! WHen it says 9 hours, i thought it would be more like 5, but it is probably close to 9! LOVE IT

- I expected it to come with Windows Vista

+ very portable

- can`t think of one

- small touchpad, bright screen when using in darkened room.

+ suits my needs very well.

- cursor is sticky on some occassions.
scrolling can go faster than the naked eye!

+ great battery life, good use of usb ports and nice keyboard

- I thought the felt bag that came with was a bit naff.

+ Excellent keyboard, good hard disk

- Track pad is a little indeterminate - you will probably prefer to have a USB mouse as there are 3 USB ports. The Samsung Update Software is a little slow - at times, you wonder if it is working!

+ Its easy and comfortable to use with a good keyboard

- Can't really think of any

+ Compact and light weight with good portability i decided to take it away with me on holiday it was excellent to
be able to view all my photographs daily.It was also handy to browse websites and collect info for my holiday.
The battery life was excellent lasting all week without a charge.
A small laptop with good all round capabilities for the money paid.

- Sound was not great a bit tinny but for the price something has to give.

+ My wife likes it a lot. We, well she, hasn't used it all that much to give a full impression, but so far so good.

- She said I have to ask her if I want to use it :-( Perhaps in the future these will become more powerful in the same size package. 1 GB then wouldn't be enough (I upgraded this to 2 GB anyway).

+ Small & very portable

- mouse pad too sensitive and difficult to use.

+ Love it, superb in every way.

- @ £ buttton in wrong place, niggles realy

- none

+ It's a really stylish with a great performance.

- Not come across any yet, though I only use it for limited use.

+ design, portablility and performance

- mouse pad a little over sensitive

+ It is small and compact withoutout losing any key features that a 15-17" laptop has! It is light in weight and great to look at. It is easy to use and can easily be changed to a 2gb of memory if wanted. The internet is very quick.

- No CD drive, but that can be bought seperately so not the end of the world.

+ Good sized keyboard, easy to type - feels like a full sized one.

+ Good looking laptop with bluetooth and a button that speeds up the processor. Samsung is making some really great products.

- None

+ Battery life is very good. Seems very reliable.

- Initial set-up of partitions and installed anti-virus software. Both soon rectified.

+ Good design.Light.Value for money

- Have only had for a month.Nothing really at present

+ Great battery life, runs Windows 7 fantastically, superb design, well laid out, excellent keyboard

- trackpad slightly on the small side, but not a major issue.

+ Great battery life. Nice screen and overall design. Compact and light.

- Keyboard does take some getting used as I find the shift and backspace keys awkward to find. The piano finish also attracts fingerprints and quickly looks messy, but that is a minor issue really.

+ All-round, well designed, constructed and performing netbook with superb battery life.

- Trackpad is a little on the small side with no feedback to say when you have moved off onto the surrounding surface.

+ Overall a very good piece of kit - particularly with its peers in the market at the moment. Keyboard is perfect size and battery life is excellent.

- The track pad is the weak point - small and with scrolling functionality just makes it harder to use - but something had to give with that fantastic keyboard.

+ Size, weight, performance, battery life, build quality

- The right shift key is smaller than I would like
The trackpad is too narrow

+ Fantastic battery life (average ~7 hours), very portable capable computer. Light but professional looking, for first netbook to not look like a toy.

- Plastic could be a little more rigid, a little bit of creaking when picked up by the lid or something.
Super glossy finger proint magnet.
Small trackpad is very annoying All outweighed by the fantastic good points.

+ Great keyboard, screen and battery life

- The gloss lid
