I think I will get a Samsung NC10, it looks really great and has good specs. Or does anybody know a notebook with similar specs?

All you need to do is take one glance at the Samsung NC10-14GB netbook to conjure the urge to buy one of these. Since it’s launch, it is by far one of the best-looking netbook in the market. There is something about its glossy blue casing and black keyboard that makes it very irresistible.

Hi all,

I just bought my Samsung NC10 from a company in the UK called http://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk and I’m hugely impressed, it’s a little slow compared to my Acer Core2Duo monster but it’s to be expected!! Just need to find a decent slipcase protector for it, but wholeheartedly would recommend these to anyone. I did have the Acer One before and it wasn’t built quite as well as this Samsung.

Samsung NC10 Netbook weigh approzimately 1.3 kg and that’s why I decide to choose NC10 to be my assistance in university.
Why do many people try to modify them?
I bought it at amazon.co.uk.
Here if you are interested in NC10.

The wireless works with Ubuntu 8.10 if you install the latest madwifi driver with the following CORRECT command:

sudo apt-get install linux-backports2-modules

in the version 2

The wireless works with Ubuntu 8.10 if you install the latest madwifi driver with the following command:

sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid

which means it’ll work out of the box with the next version.

Note: Typed this on a NC10 with Ubuntu over wireless.

Great info.

It looks like people are really searching for the NC10 in Germany, the UK, and Italy.

I’ll be sure to pass this kind of informaiton with my visitors at http://www.netbookreports.com

I first bought a Lenovo S10 to load Mac OS X operating system. Love the quality build, but hated a few things: short battery life, the keyboard was smaller and the shift key was in the wrong place. Loading the OSX was easy and the wireless worked with some hacking. It was also easier to upgrade the hard drive and memory, but after two days the system died on me and I went ahead to buy a Samsung. The battery life is superb. The only negative is the wireless card had to be swapped out to make it compatible with OSX. Overall, I think Samsung is much better value for the money.

I was a hair away from pulling the trigger on this, international order no less.. Until I read the NC10 Ubuntu blog. No Intel wireless. The included ‘Atheros’ wireless simply doesn’t work, no drivers, nothing.

I have Intel wireless on my current Ubuntu laptop and it was seamless, installed, booted, wireless worked just like that. I’ll never go through a nightmare just to get it set up.. And I’m not going back to XP.

Oh well, I thought I had nailed it – the search for a netbook I can use continues. Incredible that with all these alternatives none so far suit my needs. Shame the manufacturers are so afraid to do something different, they’re all EEE copies down to the plasticy white design apart from a few.

Sorry to say but none of the UK version will have built in 3G well not any time soon.
I’ve now got the black nc10 and I’m delighted with it, soo much better then any of the eee pc’x I’ve owned.
I just need to upgrade the ram.

Rich–

One obvious thing is the Lenovo has the stupid keyboard layout that a lot of netbooks use with the right shift key shrunk down to minuscule size. I don’t consider this acceptable myself.

Also the battery life. While the S10 will have a 6 cell at some point, it’ll presumably stick out like most of the other 6 cell batteries, while the Samsung is integrated into the body of the unit.

Hi-

Anyone know of any head-to-head comparisons of the NC10 with the Lenovo S10? I know the biggest differentiator right now is the battery, but I understand Lenovo will have a 6 cell at some point?

That aside, wondering how they compare otherwise? If I had my druthers, I think i’d prefer the Samsung, however the price for the S10 is markedly lower at $359 (discounted price I can get it for) vs. $488 (latter is US amazon price for NC10, maybe it’s less elsewhere?).

Is the additional $100 (give or take some $ for upgraded memory on Lenovo and better battery) for the Samsung justified?

Thanks for any info anyone can provide!

Correct at the moment, yes.
