Review:

Picked this up in white for £333. Beautiful machine; feels solid, and the keyboard is fantastic. The reason I didn't give this a 10 was because, well...it IS a netbook, and I don't think netbooks are ever going to be perfect. Most applications and web pages are made for a minimum screen resolution of 1024 x 768, and the Samsung NC10 (like most netbooks) has a resolution of 1024 x 600. This doesn't impair the internet browsing experience at all, though; viewing websites is a delight, especially thanks to the gorgeous brightness of the screen. I got this just before they announced the NC20, but I don't regret it. I put a 2GB stick of RAM in and it runs fantastically, I can have Windows Live Messenger, Skype, Firefox and email all open with no loss of speed. It's also managed to play some games, with an external CD drive!
Overall, this is a fantastic machine, I would recommend it entirely. Of all the netbooks, Samsung NC10 is my personal favourite. Yes, that's including the NC20.
