User Reviews about Samsung NC10-13GB 10.1-Inch Blue Netbook - Up to 6 Hours of Battery Life

Great product. Battery life is great. The system performs perfectly for what I want. I just needed something light and easy for internet and word processing. I downloaded open office and it works great. I heart my netbook! -- I heart my netbook

My wife and I were looking for a "little" computer to keep in the kitchen area for checking emails and browsing the internet. Having never owned a notebook computer before, we saw the good reviews on this Samsung model and decided to give it a try. Couldn't be more pleased. It came loaded with Windows XP, fired right up and has been working great the past several weeks. Battery life seems real good, no negative issues at all. We also bought an external CD drive to plug into 1 of the USB ports and it works perfectly. Thinking of buying another one to use out in the garage/shed......especially for the price, you can't beat it! -- Perfect "little" computer for around the house and when travelling.

I bought this for one of my daughters as backup when her desktop was trashed by malware. I had reservations because other reviewers complained about the touchpad. I have always had a personality clash with touchpads, but decided to buy it anyway. Sure enough, the touchpad is very frustrating under Windows XP, so I bought a USB mouse, which works well.

I have used Linux for the last several years, so decided to do a dual-boot install of Ubuntu, using a pre-release copy of Ubuntu 10.4 (Lucid) from a pen drive. The installation went smoothly, and surprise! surprise! the touchpad works very well under Linux. Because Linux can read/write Windows files, it can be used to repair a trashed Windows.

I rebooted Windows to make sure that it would come up OK (it did) and discovered that if I use my little finger, the touch pad is usable, though still frustrating. Maybe practice will make things better.

The machine is faster than I expected it to be, and the screen is surprisingly easy to read. Really enjoy using it. -- Very Satisfied

I'm what you might call a post-computer-era user. I began using computers when you had to build your own, and was working in a computer store when IBM introduced the PC thirty years ago. I've had many computers, from tabletops to desktops to laptops and handhelds. I'm pretty much worn out on computers; I just want one that doesn't weigh a ton, that boots up relatively fast, and that has enough memory and storage for me to do the few things I can't--or don't want to--do with my iTouch. Oh, and doesn't cost something like the gross national product of Peru.

My daughter bought one of these Samsung netbooks last year and I was taken by how suitable it was for everything I needed a computer to do. I wasn't quite sick of my XP desktop yet so I didn't do anything about it then. This January I decided to dump all the other computers and focus on a single one that does everything I want. I don't regret the decision one bit. Though not a blazer, it's fast enough for my needs. The battery life is fabulous; I charge it about twice a week and the rest of the time I just suspend it (it's all set up for that--Function Key/Escape does it), and I can come back a day later and find the battery has only lost a percent or two of charge. The screen size doesn't bother me; if I need it larger I just connect it to my TV. I use a wireless keyboard and mouse ($16.99 from Aldi's) when I need a full-size keyboard or find the built-in touchpad too annoying. With a nice-size hard drive, a gig of RAM, and a fairly fast front-side bus, this may be the last computer I need--at least until wearable computers are widely available... -- Nice useful netbook
