I got mine a few weeks ago. A blue NP-NC10 and its running like a champ so far. Starts quickly, and with the 6 cell battery it runs for hourssss….at least 4.5 under full power. I got a pink one for my girlfriend also and she loves it. Really light, easy to move around with, and the screen isn’t glossy which is a huge plus for me. Zero glare and relfection even outside. I love the blue color, definitely a guy’s kind of comp, its a lil different from all these white and silver macs….and your regular black laptops.
I got a retractable 5 button mouse, a samsung external optical drive (works great), a caselogic neoprene sleeve, and a swissgear synergy backpack to carry it all around school with my books. I do plan on getting one of those 9 cell battery packs which are supposed to give a solid 11 hrs of life. Who needs more than that??
This is my first review on amazon. I should mention that it was the reviews that helped me a lot so here’s my contribution for a great little netbook.

No complaints whatsoever. I was concerned the keyboard would be too small, but I adjusted quickly and now have no trouble typing. I can do everything on this little machine that I did on my 15-inch Compaq. In fact, I even do some C++ programming (for work) and have found that the small screen size is not a serious liability. Definitely buy a wireless mouse … it makes it far easier to navigate. Also, my computer came with Internet Explorer 6 …. I upgraded to version 8, because this version has a zoom/magnification feature that allows you to zero-in on a particular area of text and enlarge it. If you learn this trick, the small screen will begin to feel much larger.

i’ve had my little samsung nc10 for a year now and i still love it. that being said, there is a world of difference between a netbook and a notebook and if your trying to decide between the two be sure and do your research.
i use mine mostly for writing papers, internet research,surfing the web and watching online streaming, with the occasional ddl.
it has trouble playing HD and 264,but is fine for regular avi, mkv, and other media types. i’ve never played games on it so i don’t know how those run.
it boots up fast, runs smooth, and isn’t noisy.it fits easily in a bag or backpack and the battery life and wi-fi are pretty good.
my boyfriend has a toshiba satallite and its broken down three times since i bought my netbook, but the samsung hasn’t even hiccupped once.my only complaint is the touchy touch pad and that can be overcome.
great buy for students and travelers looking for a basic set up with good internet access.

I got this netbook as a birthday gift and its great! Me and my mom both picked it out together. It’s really smooth running, it runs better than most other computers I’ve used. Although the set up was a bit annoying, it had to be restarted 2 times and if I wanted the McAfee program to work I’d have to restart it a third time. It’s only for the setup though other than that everything works fabulously! I tested out the webcam by making a short video and it worked soooo nicely! Clear sound and picture! Not to mention, the color is just so nice and its very stylish :] it’s a wonderful gift :]

This computer is great for a person always on the go. It looks fantastic and works even better. I have not needed to add any RAM, so I will not comment on that. There is one thing I did not see mentioned anywhere though…It comes with a sleeve, which is an added bonus. My other netbook did not come with a sleeve. I was pleasantly surprised. In addition, I only paid $285 directly from Amazon. This made a wonderful gift for my 15 year old.

Purchased the NC10 after research on Amazon and reading reviews. Glad I did.
Long battery life – doesn’t need a charge during my workday. I put it down anywhere in the house, work for awhile, and then take it with me to another spot in the house and then work again.
More features than I could hope for. Camera, sound card, multiple USB drives, keyboard is large enough for my fat fingers.
This device just made my trusty Compaq and IBM laptops obsolete. There is no longer a reason to own a luggable when you have a Samsung NC10.
Oh yeah! Did I mention that I absolutely love the NC10? Now I am preparing to purchase another NC10 for my son.

This is a great little computer! It’s tiny, super light, but highly functional. The keyboard is a little smaller than normal-sized keyboard (93%), but it does not affect my typing at all. The keyboard also has a proper sized right shift key, which a lot of netbooks do not. The wireless works very well. There is minimal bloatware installed on it (only McAfee), which is a plus. The screen is bright and crisp. The performance is surprisingly peppy for typical web surfing, office applications, etc. The 6-cell battery runs a long time (6 hours or longer). I have ripped a bunch of DVDs, which I watch when I fly — it’s awesome on this little computer. Samsung installed its own C: disk image utility on a D: partition (ala Ghost), which is a nice feature. The screen is matte, and so there are no annoying reflections like you get with glossy screens. All in all, an excellent system.
Three complaints. First, the bluetooth mouse sometimes loses connection. I compensate by turning the mouse off-and-on or resetting it, which usually solves the problem. Second, I get a conflict between my wireless and wired connections, which I solved by only running wireless. There is no loss in performance. Third, my computer has a glossy exterior and so it attracts a lot of fingerprints. I think they changed the body from glossy to matte, which solves this problem.
Recommendations. First, get a bluetooth mouse. No wires, and no dongles like USB mice. Another recommendation is upgrade the RAM from 1GB to 2GB. The RAM stick costs about $25 at today’s prices and it makes a big difference. Installation is simple (5 minutes) — several people have posted video segments online about how to do it. I also recommend getting a cute little padded carrying case.
Overall, it is my favorite computer purchase (I have 6 in my house at the moment). A well deserved 5 stars. They simply got it right with this system.

I have had my Samsung NC10 netbook for about 6 months now and I’m hardly ever without it. It goes on the road, takes my notes in class, and can be found within my reach at almost any time. I briefly had the “whitescreen” problem but a simple Google search and five minutes with a small screwdriver solved that problem with ease and I’ve had no problems since then. The machine is fast, boots up in a flash and has proved surprisingly durable. WAY worth the money. I am now looking to buy one for each of my daughters and another for my father-in-law. Love it!

I love this netbook. I went to the store and tried out all the ones on display, and this one had the easiest to use keyboard. the battery life was good too. I would recommend this to anyone out there.

i’ve had the nc10 for over a year now and i offer the following:
i bought it for all the reasons every else mentions, great keyboard, excellent battery life, fantastic build. these have held true a year. i travel a lot and wanted a machine that will play movies for 5hrs on a flight, be light enough to carry around all day and use on a tray on a plane. it does all of those things very well.
i prefer this keyboard over the mac type keyboards.
what i would change. i wish it can read memory sticks for my sony camera.
i had a screen issue and samsung support was excellent. they paid for shipping to and from and replaced the lcd screen under warranty.
i’ll probably get a CULV machine, like the acer 1410 when the price drops because i want to watch HD content and have hdmi. but until then, this is probably one of the best atom n270 machines and for this price, south of three hundred, is excellent value!
