Pros & Cons
Pros
The netbook is currently significantly faster than when i first started using it because i've swapped to a solid-state drive. It works like a dream with my home wireless router (that came free with my dsl subscription, so how good can that be? Speed i... Read More
The laptop is super lite and easy to travel with. Despite this the notebook is still very functional. The software that comes with it is just worth the purchase alone, but you get both for the price that the software would cost you on the shelf in sto... Read More
The screen is bright, glare-free and very easy to read. The matte display is also a plus, as it is much more readable outside.
The memory is more than enough for most peoples uses. I have office 2003 installed, and it seems to run fine with the 1 gb of ram.
Cons
The login screen is extremely frustrating. Touch pad is of low quality and inferior to those comonly found in ordinary laptops (i use dell and fujitsu). After repeated inquiry calls, being disconnected, etc. It is not very fast and with the lack of ba... Read More
Highlights
Quality
Pros: strong battery, easily lasts all day on a full charge, running on wifi, and a bt mouse.
- screen automatically brightens when plugged in and dims when running off battery to conserve battery life.
It charges (red light on, percentage charged increases) but when i unplug it from the power source, fully power it down and lea... Read More
My fat fingers hit this strip all the time so the size of the font on the screen changes which is very frustrating.
Price
It's a great buy for the price and plus it's samsung!
You cannot beat this computer for the price.
-- and all of this was free for a machine that cost less than $350.
If i could get a 2gb stick for < $30.
Shipping
So far, i am very pleased with this purchase and with the quick and efficient service i received when i ordered it through amazon.
I received my netbook a little over a week ago (earlier than expected - the first good sign) and am very satisfied with it.
I shipped my laptop in (samsung paid both ways) and a week later got it back with lcd replaced.
The package arrived sooner than they said initially.
Packaging/appearance
It fits perfectly on an airplane fold-down table and i was able to pack it in an outside pocket of a carry-on backpack.
The packages you can get for it as well, can't be beat.
Well, not that much, but it is a pain to pack.
Competitiveness
This is head and shoulders better than other brands for the money.
Consumer reports, among others, listed the nc-10 as a best buy.
Did the research, narrowed down to samsung, asus, acer.
)it would have been nice to include a trial of ms office, or some other software with a better word processor than notepad.

Cons slow processor awkward trackpad
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The netbook is currently significantly faster than when i first started using it because ive swapped to a solidstate drive and because it never ran very quickly on windows because it required so much memory and processing power to do very simple tasks
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
If u want it to run at an acceptable speed id recommend a lightweight linux os or if youre patient you could go with windows since w8 requires less of a computer to run well
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Id really recommend getting an ssd in this because it makes the netbook much faster and increases battery life by more than an hour to make the battery life truly ridiculous and more than 8hrs
