Nice video, dude! I'm from GER and I'm gonna purchase this nice netbook today for my needs at the university. Sitting in front of a 22" widescreen makes it kind of scary to use a 10" mini-solution most of the day but it's better than have tons of papers, books and so on so I'm really looking forward to integrate this little machine in my student-life

[TheGeekEra]

is it better then the asus eee pc 1005ha

[Widdelund]

What do you think? The black one or the white one? I think the black one is nicer, but i don't want to see my fingerprints.. "/ So what do you guys think?

[Qkuanp]

hey kyle its been a couple months since this came out.. Are there any other laptops that's the same price that are better out there?

[EyDiesWeg]

very well done video! very good for your first video =) it helped me a lot

NEWEGG RULES!

lol

I'm thinking about getting a netbook, but I HATE Intel and their ways of doing things. If AMD went netbook (I wish) then I would buy a netbook in 2 seconds. But as of right now I'm waiting, Though the NC10 seems amazing, people have been posting vid's of gaming on low but playable.

[OakridgeProductions9]

dude intel rule

[bastec666]

@OakridgeProductions9 sure intel makes the mac daddy top most crazy trip tastic processor, but when it comes down to price, which in the falling economy is what its all about, FOR THE MONEY, you get more performance per dollar with AMD than with intel, but AMD doesn't make a mac daddy processor, not yet at least.

there are pics and videos of the samsung nc10 everywhere so looking at the 'unit in question' has been exhausted. he did a good review

[acalibeli]

Perosnally, it would had been nice to see the NC10 close up & personal. I found that your camera covered you more than the actual unit in question. Your overall description was fine, but more focus on the unit would had been alot nicer to seeing what the consumer might be getting in reality to the real thing.

[KyleKlink]

Understandable. Problem is I was using my wife's Canon 5D Mark II on a tripod, and I didn't want to put in the effort or time to go all out like that. Sorry that my video is not up to your standards. I'm sure you can find others...

[sophabgurl]

great review! i'm getting one later this week. bit concerned bout the trackpad tho as my current laptop has worn my patience v. thin

[KyleKlink]

I sold the damn thing. I couldn't take the trackpad anymore.

[2nuckinfuts]

Nice review.. was the opera browser sluggish as well?

[kllolmi123]

mac sucks...

[doctadunk]

great video for the nc10

[Zenseiga]

Hello KyleKlink,

does the chrome on the sides of the hinge holding up the screen reflect much sunlight? Also, how good is the battery life? I have read it should last for almost 5h with 100% brightness and 6.5h with 50%, is that correct? I am trying to decide wether I should go with the Asus EEE 1000 HE or Samsung NC10. I am mainly going to use the netbook for viewing videos when traveling, I might connect my USB DAC to it as well to get better sound. Is Samsungs battery life enough?

[KyleKlink]

The battery life on the Samsung is phenomenal. I would definitely recommend the NC10.

I don't notice any sun glare off the chrome, and the screen is plenty bright enough for outdoor use.

Hey... you know firefox is sluggish?? i was looking around because i had the same problem... well... the alternative that i use is opera... it has nearly all the flash / multimedia plugins already installed aswell... in fact... i have found i can do more thing in opera than on firefox... so try that out... great review :D

[KyleKlink]

Thanks for the tip. I will go DL opera onto it right now!

[DaLikeMe]

cool... hope it works for you :D

[Gjkeane]

I have seenl lots of video reviews so I know whats good, you did great man!

[KyleKlink]

Thanks!

Nice review man, well done. Just a quick question; would you rather have a White NC10 instead of the "super glossy" black one?

I've read the white is nowhere near as glossy and fingerprints are therefore not (as big of) an issue.

[KyleKlink]

To me, the white version looks like a toy. I feel the same way about the white Macbooks. I prefer black cases for notebooks (or aluminum for Macbooks).

The glossy cover is a pain in the ass with fingerprints, especially for someone like myself who is a bit OCD about stuff like that. But I just wipe it off with my shirt every time I set it down after use. Issue resolved.

So no, I would not want the white one, even if it meant no fingerprints on the cover.

I see.

Nvidia is coming out with a mixed video card with Atom, where gaming will go up 5x in speed, and video performance will go up 10x.

They say you'll be able to play games like Call Of Duty 4 with no problem, and watch HD 1080i youtube videos perfectly.

It's supposed to be out before summer.

[xMatthewxOceanx]

Great review man, I was originally going to buy the Lenovo s10 but after seeing numerous reviews of both laptops, I think I'll go with the nc10. How does it do with watching HD quality videos on Youtube? I'm talkin HD not HQ. Does it freeze, or lag?

[KyleKlink]

HD video from YouTube on the NC10 is quite laggy. If you'te intending to use the NC10 for HD video viewing I think you may be disappointed.

Im using mine primarily for web browsing, email, and MS Office. Works great for those.
