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

I've had this netbook for about a month, and it's performed very nicely for both personal and work-related use. I don't hesitate to recommend this model.

The battery life is fantastic, the quality of construction is very good, it seems to have all the computing power I need, and it doesn't have one of those awful gloss screens that seem to be all the rage in the most recent generation of laptops.

When I was shopping for netbooks, some of the reviews talked about the keyboard size as an issue, and others talked about the touchpad as a design flaw. I have big hands for a girl, and I don't have trouble with the keyboard. The touchpad does take some getting used to, but after the first few days, I adjusted. When I'm really serious about working, though, I use an external mouse.

I purchased a copy of Office 2007, and there's no problem running applications simultaneously - plenty of guts - though I did upgrade to 2G RAM as soon as I unboxed this computer.

I do use an external headset for audio and video conferences because the on-board mic's sound quality isn't fabulous. The webcam, however, does the job.

I'm happy that this computer shipped with XP, but, as I've come to find out, there is at least one benefit of running Vista. I use Microsoft's ink tools extensively at work - my work computer is a tablet PC - and I bought a Wacom Bamboo USB tablet to try and mirror that functionality on this computer. The bad news is that the ink tools in Office 2007 running on XP are only available in OneNote. Vista automatically recognizes USB tablets and makes those tools available.

Overall this a very nice machine for the price!Get more detail about Samsung NC10-11GP 10.2-Inch Pink Netbook - 6 Cell Battery.
