I have had my Samsung NC10 for nearly a year now and I love it. I have had a variety of laptops in the past including HP Omnibooks and Apple MacBooks. The NC10 beats them all hands down for what I want out of it.

I need a machine I can read email and the web on, and open and write office documents while I am on the road. The NC10 is more than capable of handling these activities, and regularly gives me 5 hours battery life (the best I've had was 7.5 hours on a delayed Eurostar from Brussels).

It is alos lightweight and looks pretty good - certainly better than a lot of the other netbooks on the market.

The keyboard takes a little getting used to since it is only 90% full-size, and the mouse-pad is a bit squished; but you get used to this pretty quickly.

Being a software developer I run Windows, Linux (Ubuntu) and Haiku. Ubuntu Netbook Remix works perfectly though you won't get the battery life you do under Windows. Once Haiku's wireless stack is finished I'll probably switch to that since everything else works.

    I also read on other forums that NC10 and other Samsung netbooks has good quality. Thanks for doing this review on NC10. I would surely recommend this to my friends as some of them are thinking of buying a Netbook.
    I love what you said on the batteries, this is very practical.

    Thanks again.
