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

Look no further! No HP, no Acer, no Dell! This is the one!

Have had my dark blue NC10 for a couple of weeks. Just to see if netbooks of this size are good enough to be a primary computer, as soon as I got it I transferred all my data from my 15.5" Lenovo. Cutting to the chase, the NC10 is absolutely up to primary usage. The screen is big enough, the keyboard layout and feedback are better than my Lenovo (and Compaq), it is quiet, the battery life is exceptional (got about seven hours out of a charge, and can do normal work stuff, sleeping in between, from 8A-8P on a single charge), is capacious enough, is fast enough, looks much better in person due to the quality of the materials and finish, and is built well. I got a Logitech wireless mouse with a very small "NANO RECIEVER" USB dongle and now I am unstoppable! Soft of.

Only two things I have minor issues with: 1) The finish on the top (screen side), though really of very high quality and very attractive, is a fingerprint magnet. I've seen better ways to handle this on most of HP's notebooks, 2) I wish there was a factory-backed way to replace XP with a good version of Linux, like Ubuntu. Samsung will not support any Linux version and does not provide drivers.

The NC10 can handle up to 2GB of RAM, but it does not say that in nearly all of the literature and descriptions. It has only one memory slot, so you have to buy a single 2GB stick, not 2x1GB. You can find 'em for $25, as I did, and am looking forward to seeing what happens. From other reports I've seen, it should speed things up. Samsung is a bit coy about this because in the warranty verbiage there is a "back door" for them if something goes wrong with the unit after you actually open it and replace the memory stick; the owner gets stuck. Don't know why they don't give the resellers the okeedoke to make the memory an option.

Buy this! Nothing better in the class, and it's a relative bargain, too.Get more detail about Samsung NC10-11GP 10.2-Inch Pink Netbook - 6 Cell Battery.
