    The best part of this beautiful paragon of plastic and chrome is its keyboard. It's not exactly standard size, but it's proportioned to feel as if it were. The trackpad is nice and wide, too. And though small, the NC10 ain't no minuteman. The battery lasts an incredible 5 hours, tying the Eee PC. Read more

    At first, the Samsung NC10 netbook might seem a bit expensive. Most of the extra money probably pays for the 6-cell battery, and 6.5 hours of battery life is definitely worth it. To compare, an MSI Wind with a 6-cell battery costs you at least $50 more, and still won’t run for as long. The netbook also has a bigger keyboard than most others out there, leaving netbook keyboard critics little to complain about. We also love that Samsung threw in some minor but extremely... Read more

    The Samsung NC10 is a great first entry into the market for Samsung. The netbook has been getting rave reviews about it's battery life and in fact people were at first denying the fact that it could get six hours of battery life on a single charge; however, numerous sources have confirmed this to be true. The keyboard layout is also greatly improved over other netbooks that find inexplicably odd places to put the shift and control buttons. On the NC10 the shift and... Read more

    I USE THIS NETBOOK TO BROWSE THE WEB, CHECK ON GRADES AND SCHOOLWORK AND FOR DOWNLOADING MUSIC. IT IS VERY COMPACT AND THE KEYBOARD IS THE PERFECT SIZE. THE BATTERY LIFE IS GREAT...I TAKE IT TO SCHOOL AND BROWSE AT HOME ALL DAY WITHOUT HAVING TO CHARGE BUT ONCE AT NIGHT WHILE SLEEP. IT ALSO CHARGES TO 100% REALLY FAST. THE TRACKPAD'S SMALLNESS IS A BIT CONFUSING IF YOURE NOT LOOKING DIRECTLY AT IT BUT WORKS FINE. I FIND IT TO BE A GREAT ASSET FOR EVERYDAY EASY USE. Read more

    We also have a 8.9" acer and this little thing Samsung just works. The Acer looses it network connection when the lid shuts and you have to reboot to reset everything. The Samsung just works and connects flawlessly just like you never shut the lid. Read more
