With Samsung's recent entry into the U.S. market, it certainly makes sense for the company to include an example of the hottest thing in laptops right now--the humble Netbook.
The Samsung NC10 is a completely average Netbook in every way, but we like its keyboard and love its long-running battery.von 10: 7.4, Ausstattung 6, Leistung 7, Mobilität 9

Although by far one of the better (and better-looking) netbooks available, the Samsung NC10 is let-down by its annoying awkward touchpad.

Having just launched its notebook line in the United States this past October, Samsung might be a new name on these shores when it comes to portables, but the company is not new to designing and manufacturing laptops. The Samsung NC10 corrects a lot of the shortcomings of earlier netbooks and keeps the price reasonable, too.

Samsung's netbook offering may tick nearly all the same boxes as the MSI Wind, but its keen pricing and remarkable mains-free longevity make it a worthy addition to the line. The Samsung NC10 may be marginally larger, heavier and lack 802.11n but this could be the new champion of the breed.

It might be late to the party, but Samsung has clearly listened to users and learned from the competition, thus producing a supremely balanced proposition. Attractive design and reassuring build quality are married to a great keyboard and superb battery and if one or two things, like the token slip case, could be improved upon, all is forgotten when you look at the price. Unless integrated HSDPA is high on your agenda, you can buy an NC10 with great confidence. In its class: it is the best.

So, has the Samsung NC10 been worth waiting for? Clearly the answer is yes. While it does nothing new, it takes all the proven good points of other devices, tightens them up and delivers an excellent package at a great price. It'll be interesting to see how other companies respond but for the time being, Samsung has set the benchmark for 10-inch Netbooks and set it high.

There really isn't a chink in the NC10's armour. Some might bemoan the lack of an SSD, but to our minds the capacious 160GB drive is more than ample. There is always the option of using the SDHC-compatible card reader if you need critical documents to be kept safe on a more shock proof medium. Connectivity, too, is on song. Three USB ports nestle up against a VGA output and a 10/100 Ethernet socket, and while the Atheros wireless chipset lacks Draft-N, the ever handy presence of Bluetooth softens the blow.

Until now, no other netbook has been able to match the 10-inch MSI Wind’s endurance, strong performance, and spacious keyboard. Samsung’s NC10 is the only product that provides comparable—and even improved—features for a lower price. Its comfortable, well-positioned keyboard, speedy and spacious hard drive, and more than 6 hours of endurance make the $499 Samsung NC10 the most well-rounded 10-inch netbook on the market. While the $549 MSI Wind (with a six-cell battery) is an excellent choice, it will cost you $50 more. Those willing to sacrifice some touchpad room will find the Samsung NC10 to be a great mobile companion.

Comment
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 950: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 is an integrated (onboard) graphic chip on Mobile Intel 945GM chipset. It is a faster clocked version of the GMA 900 and supports no hardware T&L (Transform & Lightning) accelleration (which is required for some games).
Only older games can be played fluently with these graphics chips (if they were not too demanding). Shared memory graphic cores in this category got the advantage of less heat production and longer battery runtimes. For office, internet, image processing, and video editing tasks these graphics chips are still useable without any restrictions.
