Samsung NC10 - 10.2in Netbook

Samsung's NC10 is the best netbook money can buy. Read the review to find out why!

Stunning design ; Fantastic battery life ; Perfect keyboard layout

Mediocre speakers ; Flimsy carry case ; Weighty battery

It might be late to the party, but Samsung has clearly listened to users and learned from the competition, thus producing a supremely balanced proposition. Attractive design and reassuring build quality are married to a great keyboard and superb...

Samsung NC10 review

The best netbook we've seen so far - and the price is right

Great design ; Top specs ; Value for money ; Great screen ; Comfortable keyboard ; Rock solid battery life

Nothing truly groundbreaking

Samsung NC10 notebook

Initially perceived as a bit of a fad, the netbook phenomenon is definitely here to stay. With shelves cluttered up with well over two dozen representatives of the slinky little devices, and with most packing similar specs, it's been tricky to sort out...

Fantastic battery life, excellent performance, great keyboard

Samsung bloatware, small touchpad, no 3G modem

As fantastic as the Samsung NC10 sounds it’s not all plus points. The touchpad is a touch on the short side, making internet browsing a little trickier than it could have been. It does come packed with a fairly hefty amount of Samsung related bloatware...

Samsung NC10 review

At 100g heavier than, say, the LG X110 , Samsung's NC10 is a giant among netbooks – which for an ultra-portable laptop is not necessarily a good thing. Being honest, it's right on the outer boundaries of what we'd call acceptable. The compromise...

Samsung NC10 review

The MSI Wind U100 is arguably the pick of current netbooks, inspiring rebadged versions under such names as Advent and Medion. Samsung must have looked at MSI's successful design when it made its own Samsung NC10 netbook, for it is very much a me-too...

Samsung's netbook offering may tick nearly all the same boxes as the MSI Wind, but its keen pricing and remarkable mains-free longevity make it a worthy addition to the line. The Samsung NC10 may be marginally larger, heavier and lack 802.11n but this...

Samsung NC10

The Samsung NC10 netbook weighs a mere 1.33kg, and measures 261x185x30mm but somehow manages to squeeze in a 10.2-inch SuperBright screen with 1024x600 resolution. It also has a 160GB hard drive, a 1.6GHz Intel Atom Processor and supports Bluetooth and...

Eee might be the brand du jour but Samsung has been cranking out decent budget notebooks since netbooks were just a gleam in Intel Atom’s eye. For a solid, practical XP workhorse, look no further. Samsung NC10 is tagged with Sasmung, laptop and...

Samsung NC10

Were you to pop a standard-sized Samsung laptop into the machine from Honey I shrunk The Kids, you'd end up with the Samsung NC10.

Amazing battery. Free on certain mobile phone/broadband contracts

There are few netbooks heavier than the NC10

Could do with shedding a few pounds, but otherwise the NC10 is extremely good value for money - especially if you get it free on contract.

Samsung NC10 - For the man on the road

The Samsung NC10 is yet another competitor in the ever-growing netbook market, but it still manages to stand out with its great design. The NC10 measures 10.2 inches, weighs 1.33kg and is available at a price that allows anyone to participate in the...

Samsung NC10

The large keyboard and long battery life, combined with non-glossy screen, make it the Samsung NC10 a traveller's best friend.

The Acer Aspire One has a great keyboard but poor battery life. The Asus Eee PC 1000 has a great runtime but a just-too-small keyboard. Anyone who's waited for netbook makers to combine the best of these two leading mini-laptops into a single product...

Samsung NC10

Who says quality and design has to suffer to keep a netbook's price down?

Stylish looks / Strong construction / Excellent screen / Huge battery life / Bright display

No wireless-n / Limited warranty

The NC10's ports are helpfully labelled, and there's the luxury of seven notification LEDs. These are all little things in themselves, but add to the Samsung’s quality feel
