No complaints whatsoever. I was interested in the keyboard was too small, but I adapted quickly and now have no problems typing. Can I do something in this little machine as I did on my 15 "Compaq. Actually, I also do a little 'C + + (for work) and found that the screen size is small n' is not a serious injury. Definitely buy a wireless mouse ... makes it much easier to navigate. Also, my computer came with Internet Explorer 6 .... I upgraded to version 8 because this version has a zoom / zoom function that allows you to zero in a particular area of text and enlarge it. If you learn this trick, the small screen begins to feel much larger.

I got mine a couple of weeks ago. A blue-NC10 NP and its operation as a champion to date. Start early, and with the 6-cell battery that runs for hourssss .... at least 4.5 at full power. I have a rose for my girlfriend and she loves him. Really light, easy to move, and the screen is glossy, which is a huge advantage for me. Zero glare and relfection out. I like the color blue, no doubt a kind of task Guy, its a lil different from all these .... Mac laptop white and silver and black adjust.

I have a 5 button mouse disappeared, a external optical drive Samsung (Major Works), a neoprene CASELOGIC and synergy backpack SwissGear to put around the school with my books. I think you have one of these parcels 9-cell battery which should give a solid 11 hours of life. Who needs more? This is my first review on Amazon. I must say that was the comment that really helped me here is my contribution to a great little netbook.

I only had this netbook for about 2 months, but so far is fantastic. I bought my refurbished Tech for less. it runs great. webcam is below par, the only reason I gave it 4 stars. I want to make this purchase again. I go to a community college with a reputation for getting things stolen from vehicles. Netbook that allows me to have a computer at school and not worry about getting robbed because he said a laptop notebook, which is about twice the price.

Most things can be done via the USB port these days and I took full advantage of 3 or 4 ports available. I have not tried the VGA yet. my battery life is good, usually about 4 or 5, watch videos, and everything depends on what you do and how the screen is bright. Keyboard shortcuts on this machine are great. so easy to use. For example, if I pressed the Fn key and press the arrow on the keyboard to say that turned my book, all is well marked and well positioned. I also had problems when playing HD video from YouTube. However, his game quite enough memory intensive. avi files that are of high video quality. Internet was great, I used IE, Chrome and Firefox. I use iTunes and Zune, no problem exists. I also installed Microsoft Office 2007 without a hitch, and openoffice.org. is the great work. I use a program called Dameon tools to trick the computer into thinking that there is a CD and the installation of a file. Some games I played Starcraft iso and it worked great. I used a 1 TB external hard drive with it without problems. So far everything was dandy. even the suggestions that I have is to download a program called sets, which can hold 2GB of orders for free and allows you to easily transfer files netbook, its been great for me so far.

I used my blue Samsung NC-10 for a couple of months now, and I really like. However, as warned by others to open the plastic cover on the bottom to upgrade the RAM in a concert in two it was terrifying. Very difficult and frightening. I had to apply strong pressure to begin to get the lid, then stopped half way off. I could not do it again, and I had to pull very hard to complete the removal. I was sure I broke my new computer! However, the coverage is out, I did not upgrade the RAM, and so far the coverage of the United Nations seems RAM damaged.

Among other things, the reviewer who warned that Amazon was wrong to recommend that the upgrade of RAM seems to have been correct. I went to the site of Crucial Crucial and ordered that recommended for the Samsung NC-10, and it worked well. This is NOT the RAM recommended by Amazon. I also noticed a thread with a discussion of what RAM is correct. So, good luck!

If you want the external optical drive, I can not recommend the Lite On DVD / CD rewritable eSAU208 model. I'm going to look elsewhere, but I note here that the software that provides Lite On does not install the Samsung NC-10. I had to use the software on another disk that I bought another computer. Lite discs sometimes is not recognized by computer, and vibrates and rattles make this work. Not horrible, but it is not good. NC-10 itself is a pleasure to use. Rarely freezes, boots quickly, and the keyboard is very good. I have large hands, and I like this type of computer. The screen is beautiful. The case does show fingerprints.

Overall, except for the awful RAM cover, I love this computer.
