    The Samsung NC10 Ecko Plus , despite its older Intel Atom N455 processor , is not a bad machine. The performance offered by the hardware is not stunning, but for simple office applications it is all that is needed. Read more

    I should have reviewed this a year ago. This is a sleek and portable machine that can do a lot. However, there is a "white screen" problem with it where the screen will turn completely white if you have the screen brightness... Read more

    I would buy it again. It filled the niche between the desktop and a large laptop that was a pain on airplanes. The lack of optical drive is not an issue for me. Read more

    • Size, weight, screen, keyboard, using XP, media card slot, battery life, price/shipping ($371 total,delivered in 2 days). Consumer Reports top pick in category.
    • Small touch pad, but I got used to it quickly. Slower than my desktop. Sound. Everyone wants to borrow it.

    I've had this netbook for a few weeks now, and it works like a charm. It's very lightweight so it can be taken everywhere! I use it on the bus, during lectures, for presentations and tons more. 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. Read more

    • Does just about everything that you need to do on a daily basis. 10.2" screen make a huge difference from the 8.9". Hard to believe that just over an inch make so big of a difference.
    • No cd/dvd drive, but who uses them anymore anyway. We store all of our files on a file server and wireless is available almost everywhere now.
