Summary: Best netbook currently on the market
Comment: So when my HP laptop broke down, I wanted to find a new computer that would be affordable but functional. That's when I discovered the netbook genre. With so many brands out there, Asus's Eee Pc, Acer's Aspire one, MSI's Wind, HP's Atom, the list goes on, it can get a bit confusing. But at the end of the day, all of these netbooks are similar, if not exactly the same when it comes down to the technical specifications (screen size, processor, hard drive, wireless card, software, etc).
But there are several features that set this netbook apart. First, the Samsung NC-10 came out on top with its 6 cell battery (many other netbooks only have a 3 cell), which equals a MINIMUM of 4.5 hours, and easily over 7 hours when in its power saving mode. Also, this model has a 160GB hard drive, leaps and bounds over what many other netbooks offer. And, in another great stride, if you want to increase the RAM (from 1gb to 2gb), Samsung did a brilliant job making the RAM so accessible. It's as simple as removing a screw from a panel on the bottom of the computer that says "Memory", removing the panel, and switching out the memory aka RAM. The function keys are very useful, for everything from volume, screen resolution, power mode, wireless networking, external screen options, and more, making using this computer a genuinely fun experience. I had Vista running on my old laptop, and even though I have not upgraded the RAM, this thing runs effortlessly with the XP provided. If you are worried about Windows XP, don't be, because I have transferred every single application that I had with Vista to this computer, and have lost zero performance. It even has a slot to insert SD memory cards (unfortunately not for memory sticks).
Now, nothing is perfect. First of all, I have medium sized hands, and though the keyboard works great for touch typing, there isn't much space between the start of the keyboard and the end of the computer to rest your wrists on, which can strain yours hands after a while. Purchasing a wrist pad will help. Also, one drawback of having one of the roomiest keyboards on the netbook market (95% full size) means this has a smaller touch pad. It's very reactive and has the same pinch/stretch properties that apple touchpads have, but it still takes some getting used to. Also, I got this in blue, and the top is a fingerprint magnet. And if you plan on playing music from your netbook, be sure to get external speakers, because these speakers are by far the worst thing about it, with a generic tinny sound to them.
If I had to go back and do it again, I would definitely buy this computer again. Of course, in the world of technology, things constantly change, so in about a year I may have my eyes on a Vista or Windows 7 netbook, but for now I'm very happy with this purchase.

Summary: The Best
Comment: There is absolutely no reason to pick another of the new ultra-portables. This is the best tech purchase I ever made. It is the only one with 2G of RAM and a solid 7 hours of battery life (For Real). I had two of the others (Asus and Acer)before I got this one, and there is no comparison whatsoever.

Summary: I love mine
Comment: I got this for Christmas and I love it. I haven't had any trouble with it so far. I purchased a wireless mouse because I'm not good with touchpads. It's very portable and has been easy to use.

Summary: Great Netbook!
Comment: I have to agree with what almost everyone else is saying in that this unit is great for what it is. Yes you have to adapt to the smaller screen and touch pad but for what it is it works very well.
The screen looks good, keyboard is nice, and the battery life is excellent. You don't have to void the warranty and gut the whole thing to upgrade the memory but you do if want to upgrade the hard drive so that is something to take into consideration. I don't see any problems with the screen on my unit that was purchased here on 12/31.
Samsung even includes recovery discs in the box. Right off the bat I started the system up to see what was on it. Then I used a USB DVD drive and the included OS disc to delete the recovery partition and reinstall just the OS. Then I used the included application disc and it let me install just the couple utilities that I wanted without all the other stuff, nice.
My only real complaints would be that the case it comes with is only slightly useful because it won't protect from impacts and the flap doesn't have a fastener. The other thing is that when a SD card is inserted it is not flush with the body of the laptop. It sticks out a little bit but is tolerable.
