Samsung NC10

Got a NC10 here, had it just over a year and all I've done is up it to 2GB, still running XP Home buts its ace, best thing I've bought to be honest.

I would agree with Headt18 regarding the Fizzbook Spins, the feedback we have been given from the many educational establishments that have purchased these from us has only been great , Although I would take a look at the Dell 2100 also.

Is that the biggest gap between a post and a reply? Nigh on 16 months? What prompted you to 're-ignite' the thread? Not that it's any problem you understand, I'm just curious as to what prompted you to pick up on a conversation which is over a year old

What's the current Samsung equivalent/replacement of the NC10? Keep threatening to buy the wife one so she can play Scrabble on Facebook instead of using the 'brick' of an Acer Aspire she has, but never sure what model to go for.

The samsungs are definately the coolest, but I've been quite disappointed by the keyboard on my samsung Q series notebook which started to fall apart within a week of getting it.

I've now got 2 keys half dangling off.

It wasn't Simon. A company in Wakefield decided to spam us about Fizzbooks yesterday. It was hammer time

Now I'm confused?

We have a fleet of netbooks now, all Samsung, mostly NC10s but now it's the N130 that's replaced it. N130 is cheaper to buy than the NC10 was, pretty much down to the fact they've removed the extra chrome trim and other decorative bits so it looks a bit cheaper but functionally works the same and possibly better battery life I read somewhere?

Keyboard is best in class, only thing that's better is the Lenovo x100e but that costs almost double the price of an N130 so it should be good! (I bought an x100 and rather impressed with it so far so if you're loaded with cash go for those!)

2GB RAM upgrade is a must, minimum spec for any machine here and for the price makes a massive performance difference. Also get the extended warranty as you may well be needing it if they're going to be given some rough treatment over time

I wish the keyboard on my q series samsung was decent. I also wish I got more than 2:30 out the battery. Netbooks are too slow for me I get impatient, anyone know a fast laptop with decent graphics and battery? (any don't say apple)
