User Reviews

I have absolutely no complaints about this netbook.Has been my everyday computer for a year and a half -- Great netbook

Don't believe the stated battery life. I mainly bought this netbook because of the long battery life advertised. After a short period of time, it would not hold a charge for very long. Now after 6 months or so, the battery dies in less than 8 hours even when the laptop is turned off. It is not very fast and with the lack of battery, it is not a useful laptop for travel. The screen is tiny, so it is not very useful for home either. I would not buy another one, although it is light for travel, if you can't use it without keeping it plugged in, it doesn't matter how light it is. -- Don't believe the battery life.

As a testament to the reliability of the NC10 I thought i would post this.
My wife is hooked on facebook, and spends all evening every evening tending her farm. The NC10 has spent every night 5hrs+ for well over a year running on battery and has never missed a beat.
Personally i think everyone should try one before comitting to a netbook. The screen is too small to display a web page properly, with the wrong aspect ratio. And typing on the keyboard is a challenge for fat fingered folk like me.
I just got rid of a 10" dell and will probaly try the iPad for a bit before moving back to a "proper" notebook.
But my wife likes her NC10 and thats whats important. -- a netbook for my wife

I got this almost a year ago, use it only on my home wireless network, and have had no real problems. A few minor issues were resolved by googling, reading the forums at [...], and just getting reacquainted with my router. From others' experiences, I guess I'm lucky not to need Samsung support. -- no regrets

This Machine Broke Four times in less than a year same issue everytime with the LCD screen..Samsung does not stand behind their 1 yr warranty..Keep away from Samsung Notebooks/Netbooks..Repair turnaround is 3-4 weeks, usually done by third party companies. -- Do not buy Samsung
