With the latest crop of netbooks beginning to sport Intel's new Atom N280, which features a slightly higher clock speed (1.66GHz vs. 1.6GHz) and a faster front-side bus (667MHz vs. 533MHz), how well does a netbook built around the earlier Atom N270 ...

Samsung's NC10 netbook offers great battery life, solid construction, and good performance. And it's not a fingerprint magnet

Samsung's NC10 isn't just a netbook--it's a series of interesting choices. It scores a couple points with a good screen, great battery life, and keys sized appropriately for human hands. However, before we rip into this review, you should be aware ...

Fantastic software suite Fairly colorful screen

Recessed mouse button too loose

The best features are found in the software package. The handy Samsung Recovery Solution III backup and system-restore program even throws in a couple of suggestions regarding the possible causes of your machine's problems, giving you a recommended ...

Better late than never

Though late to the netbook party, the NC10 is a superb product that's easily a cut above the rest

The best part of this beautiful paragon of plastic and chrome is its keyboard. It's not exactly standard size, but it's proportioned to feel as if it were. The trackpad is nice and wide, too. And though small, the NC10 ain't no minuteman. The battery ...

Striking matte interior with chrome accents. Comes in black, blue, or white. Solid performance: Tied the Wind for second place

From cell phones to HDTVs, Samsung products have successfully found their way into American homes for the past decade. But the company hasn't made much headway with its laptops, and for good reason: The laptops have only recently started selling in ...

93 percent keyboard. 10-inch widescreen. Standard six-cell battery. Excellent battery-life scores

Touchpad is small. Price could be lower

The Samsung NC10-14GB is a well-equipped netbook whose trimmings include a standard six-cell battery, but we'd like to see its price adjusted down to MSI's and Acer's level.

This 10-inch netbook trumps the field with its spacious keyboard and more than 6 hours of battery life.

Roomy keyboard, Very long battery life, Speedy and relatively large hard drive, Good speakers for a netbook, Quality webcam

Small touchpad, Design not as chic as some competitors

The NC10 houses the typical netbook ports, including 3 USB ports, a 3-in-1 memory card reader, mic and headphone jacks, a VGA port, and an Ethernet jack. Unlike Lenovo's S10, the NC10 lacks an ExpressCard slot for adding a mobile broadband modem card, ...
