Samsung NC10-11GP 10.2-Inch Pink Netbook - 6 Cell Battery

This is a nice little machine. Keeping in mind that it is more for email and Internet usage, I find that this machine has enough horsepower to do everything I need, including running Office 2007 with acceptable performance. It's definitely not a gaming machine, but it would be very good to take to college and stuff. The first one I got had something wrong with it. But when I went to return it through Amazon, they offered an exchange for no cost and I got it within a day. The replacement has been flawless.

Things I suggest, upgrade the RAM to 2GB and invest in either an external optical (CD or DVD) drive. Personally, I have other computers that I can use to copy installation files over the network or to USB sticks. Some folks might find that to be an issue.

Something I think Samsung could do to improve this is to pre-load this with XP Pro, instead of Home. I'm sure that's some OEM thing with Microsoft. Also, if they would throw in a SSD rather than a spinning disk the already excellent battery life would be even better.

If I knew anyone in the market for one a netbook, I wouldn't hesitate in recommending the Samsung NC10. Get more detail about Samsung NC10-11GP 10.2-Inch Pink Netbook - 6 Cell Battery.
