Hi All,
Been lurking here for weeks deciding if the NC10 was right for me, then getting hints from you all about how best to use it when I finally got mine.
Hubby is buying me one for my birthday in March. I had decided on the white one and we kept going into town so I could take a look at them lol
trouble was, every time I saw the white one I felt a bit crestfallen. It was just not as white as I had hoped, the pearlescent look made it feel greyish. Worse still, each time I saw them in store I saw more and more fingerprints and dirt collecting on them, and it looked horrid.
Anyway, yesterday went to PCWorld and saw all 3 colours on display for the first time, previously only ever seen the white on display. it was then I fell in love. The blue was just gorgeous. I never liked it in pictures, it looked a very flat navy, but when you see it for real it is just striking. The blue is a lovely shade and it sparkles. Once I saw the metallic lid I was smitten, to hell with the glossy/fingerprint issue it was pure love !!
So we bought one there and then, along with a swordfish case, LG dvd drive and vx nano mouse, all for a staggering £65 off, thanks to my haggling skills LOL got the case thrown in, the mouse half price and £20 knocked off the dvd drive. Very happy indeed.
trouble is it has now been put away for my birthday so I still have a couple of weeks to wait………its killing meBTW mine has a date of 18 Dec 08 on the flap……is this in the danger area for screen blotches or should it be okay???? I know the more recent ones seem okay and they mostly appeared in Oct/Nov ones……..still a bit concerned though.

Hi tarotgaladriel. You pretty much bought all the accessories I have 😉No doubt it will be hard waiting, but believe me, it will be well worth it.
Welcome tarotgaladriel, surely you can have it as an early birthday present?
Anyway, congratulations on the purchase, and well done with the haggling.
Thanks Guys, I did try asking if I could have it for valentines,but it was a no go, can’t think why LOL
Just praying I don’t have screen blotches now, scared of the switch on, on my birthday…….is there also a way to tell what make of harddrive you have from the outside? or can you only tell once fired up from the properties? Just hoping I get a quiet one….
Unless you want to dismantle it (which I don’t advise!) there is no way to tell the make of the hard drive until you switch it on.
