Samsung NC10
We have recently increased the score of this product from four to five stars following a comparison with more of the competition. There's an explanation of our decision in our news piece about recent netbook releases. Better late than never, Samsung has finally entered the netbook market with this NC10. It's a ten-inch model, as is increasingly the case, and includes a hard drive that comes loaded with Windows XP. As such, it's in direct competition with other netbooks with (very) similar profiles like the Asus 1000H, the Medion E1210 or the MSI Wind U100. The Korean manufacturer's publicity claims a battery life of up to six hours, thanks to the six-cell battery. Three colors are available: Black Gloss (which we tested and you can see in our pictures here), Pure White and Metallic Blue. Despite its name, the Black Gloss model we tested has a matte case, and the only remotely shiny part of it is some metal trim that runs around the outside. The whole thing is nicely finished and feels solid, and large keys make using the keyboard comfortable.
Samsung NC10 agnès b
The NC10 version fashion, signed agnès b. The glossy black casing and famous salamander are the two distinctive marks on this model. Inside you’ll find some of the favourite photos of the celebrated designer installed as screensavers. The netbook as fashion accessory? Why not?

Samsung's first dip into the netbook market has its flaws, but it still manages to deliver good battery life and a somewhat stylish case. 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 that a better, more satisfying model--the Samsung N110--is on the scene as well. Back to the netbook at hand. When I first laid hands on the NC10, my gut reaction was that it seemed an awful lot like the original Lenovo IdeaPad S10. Measuring 10.3 by 7.3 by 1.5 inches and weighing 2.9 pounds, it has similar lines and a similar layout to that machine. And it has a similar price--it sells for about $440. But after shaking off that creeping sense of déjà vu, I grew to love--and hate--the NC10 for a couple of reasons. Let's stick with the positives for now. The matte screen is an unusual choice, but the 10.1-inch, 1024-by-600-pixel panel works fairly well in all sorts of lighting conditions. It's also reasonably bright, given how matte displays don't pop as well as glossy screens.
