bit-tech published a review of Samsung's NC10 sub-notebook
The Samsung NC10 is, quite simply, the best netbook money can buy at the moment. While there's no one feature that puts it head and shoulders above everything else out there, the combination of superb build quality and attention to detail gives the NC10 a distinct edge over the competition.
Things like the matte finish which doesn't attract fingerprints (I'm not a fan of the White, but there are Blue and Black variants as well though), the excellent keyboard and one of the best screens we've seen on a netbook to date just demonstrate the thought and effort Samsung has put into this little device.
Of course, there are downsides like the trackpad and accompanying buttons, which we would have preferred to be a bit bigger, and we can't forget the performance limitations imposed on netbooks. Forget about watching high-definition video and doing other CPU-intensive tasks if you're not prepared to wait because, like every other netbook out there, the heart of the NC10 isn't designed with high performance in mind. Instead, the Intel Atom processor inside this device is all about delivering / /good enough computing and that's exactly what the NC10 delivers.
Frankly, that's about all we have been able to come up with and, as far as I'm concerned, if that's all that is wrong with a device that costs less than £300 (including VAT) then we're onto a winner.
