Good review. This is the one that sold the NC10 to me:
http://www.trustedreviews.com/notebooks/review/2008/11/17/Samsung-NC10—10-2in-Netbook/p1Yeh the TrustedReviews sold it for me aswell. Just had a look around TrustedReviews and found this:
Then I realised, Netbooks are just trying to achieve that.
The right decision by far is the NC10. I would have liked the option of an express card slot, however, I’ve never used the on my laptop, so it’s not a huge deal or something I generally think about.
I find it funny that the NC10 doesn’t have a killer feature, the battery life isn’t light years ahead of netbooks with 6 cell batteries, not found on other netbooks in the market, it just puts them altogether in a really nice package for everyone to look at and adore. I sometimes question my decision and wonder “should I have waited for a better netbook with more features?â€, and my answer to myself is always a resounding “No, you already have the bestâ€.
I have had the HP 2133 which was an outstanding machine I thought except for the mediocre Battery Life.
I sold it wjile I could expecting they would be upgrading it soon which they are(2140) and I am thinking of finding one of those now.I bought the NC 10 mainly because I found one in town,unopened and priced right.
I am very happy in general and the battery life is a huge improvement over the 2133.What amazes me though is that I am just not as enthusiastic about the design as I am by the HP somehow?
Maybe I am just cheap for the Metal?I am not unhappy really with any part of the NC10 and yet I keep looking.
OK I will always keep looking.I also am comparing all of these Netbook’ with my Fujitsu P1610 and I am not yet sold on them ther than the price when new.
Since I do not buy most of mine new the difference is almost nill.Ed

If you got to play around with a 2140 and liked it, would you then sell your NC10, or would you keep it and have the 2140 too?A proper right shift key and a 6 cell battery is what got me to buy an NC10. Like Rsaeire said, there’s nothing that really stands out about it except that it packages all the right things together. That’s all it needed to do as far as I’m concerned. :)

[/quote1233350108]I have no idea!
Right now I am still trying to decide between the P1610 and any Netbook at all.
I really like the Touchscreen utility and the PC Card Slot and the overall build quality and the Pro Bump Case I have on the Fujitsu so all of the Netbooks are up against that.For mr the whole thing starts with Battery Life First.
Without exceptional battery life none of the rest make any sense for me at all.Why the manufacturers persist in making outrageous battery claims is hard for me to understand. Do they think we will not notice or just not care?
I guess most just do not care what they claim and figure we are all too lazy and stupid to stand up and accept the better ones only?
