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

This is a great machine. The only flaw that I have found so far are the very poor sounding speakers. I have an iPhone and the speaker in my iPhone is far superior to the speakers in this netbook. Seriously, they are pretty bad. That said, I have yet to find a single other flaw with this machine. It is very solid and tight-fitting with no rattles at all.

The keyboard is remarkably generous, surprising me with it's ease of typing because I have big hands. I use a Microsoft Natural all day long on my desktop but have no trouble making the transition to this netbook's keyboard. The Control key is in the lower-left, right where it should be! Some laptop manufacturers put the Fn key there (ugh) and it completely screws up my touch-typing, so this is a big plus for me.

The touchpad takes a little getting used to, but maybe that's just me because I've been a ThinkPad TrackPoint bigot for many years. The single button for the touchpad is no big deal, it's actually two switches underneath for the left and right click. Once you get used to using it, the size of the touchpad isn't a big deal. As with almost any input device, continued use will train your hands to do the right thing.

The screen is nice and bright, but be ready for the short height of this display. It will take some getting used to, and if you are using any apps that have a display area where the vertical height of any window or dialog exceeds 600 pixels then you WILL have issues here. It's a good idea to adjust the resolution of your home machine to 800x600, replicating the vertical resolution of this netbook, and then test your "must have" applications to ensure you can run them without issues before buying this machine. Be sure to check the settings, configuration, etc. dialog boxes of your applications because if you can't move the window up enough to click on Apply or OK then it's going to be tough to work with those apps on a 1024x600 display.

Finally, the battery life is stupendous! I can easily get eight hours of low-power use on this machine, or use it here and there for a few DAYS without charging. I tell you, this is absolutely amazing. My previous machine was a desktop-replacement-class notebook that was very heavy and ate the battery in less than one hour. This netbook is very frugal with power and I can't see myself ever going back to a more power-hungry notebook/laptop. This is nearly in the realm of mobile phone charge & use cycles, and for a machine as capable as this, I am amazed.

Bottom line is that I am about to buy another one for my wife and that says as much in itself as all of my previous words. I would highly recommend this machine.Get more detail about Samsung NC10-11GP 10.2-Inch Pink Netbook - 6 Cell Battery.
