Samsung NC10 Notebook Laptop Computer Review

I've had my Samsung NC10 laptop computer for a couple of months now, and have been using it on a near-daily basis since I've owned it. My last computer was an Imac, and in the past I've been kind of a Mac snob. I expected to hate this computer in comparison, but I have been pleasantly surprised. This computer is great for both working and surfing the internet, and so far I have been really happy with it.

The Keyboard

My best friend's laptop has a tiny keyboard that is a real pain to use. In comparison, the keyboard on the Samsung NC10 notebook is a real joy to use. It is comfortable and intuitive. The keys are all placed exactly where I'd expect them to be, and I haven't had any difficulty adjusting to using this keyboard. The size is fantastic.

The Touchpad

There is a scroll bar built into the touchpad, which, in theory, should really come in handy. The biggest problem with it is that it is too easy to accidentally touch it when you don't intend to scroll. I do this at least twice a day, and it is annoying. On the other hand, if you are relying on the touchpad and not using a mouse with this computer, it's worth putting up with that annoyance because it really is convenient to have the ability to scroll so easily.

Others have complained about the touchpad on this computer being too small. I am not really in a position to comment on that, because I am not using the touchpad all that much. I have a wireless Bluetooth mouse that I am using with the computer, so I don't bother much with the touchpad. Before my mouse was delivered, I did use the touchpad, and found it inconvenient. I didn't give it much of a chance though.

Portability and Battery Life

I keep my NC10 plugged in most of the time, but there are plenty of occasions when I take it on the road with me. It's pretty amazing how well this baby travels. It's lightweight, weighing in at slightly less than 3 lbs.

The battery life is decent. It varies, depending on what you're doing and how bright you make the monitor. If you're conservative with it, you can usually make the battery last for six hours or so.

Digital Motion Camera Included

I haven't tried the digital motion camera yet, but I am happy that it has that feature in case I ever want to use it. It's a 1.3 megapixel camera.

Speakers

The sound quality is better than expected. No complaints here.

RAM: 1 GB

Hard Drive Storage Space: 160 GB
