Is this the offer that starts tomorrow (Friday)? Tried to get the store in Cov to hold one for me but they can't

[tech_guy]

According to the offer it's on now until Sunday.

Is it easy to upgrade the battery in the NC10 to a 6 cell?

Was wondering that myself. Stopping off at the Coventry branch on the way home tonight to see if they've got any left.

[Fatmas]

The battery life isn't great. My NC10 has the 7-8 hour 6 cell version and it's well worth upgrading if you can

[sidewinder]

Is that a good price then?

I wouldnt mind a netbook but I keep expecting them to cost a lot less than they do!

[tech_guy]

Cheapest I've seen so far. If the Norton 360 is on a CD I'll flog it on eBay.

[mossj]

Wonder if I can get it with employee discount as well.....Is the Samsung NC10 the best netbook at there atm?

 

Might buy one as a treat for myself...

[mossj]

just so you guys know: dabs.com - Samsung NC10 BATTERY LI-ION 6 CELL 5200MAH WHITE (AA-PB6NC6W/E) £100 for a 6 cell battery...

[CSNM-Carl]

Yes, cheaper to just buy the NC10 with the 6 cell battery...

[Martin]

You can currently get the 6-cell version for £268.79 (inc vat) from Ebuyer.

I got a email at 4am this morning saying the very same thing... I demand to know how you knew sooner!

[SimpleSi]

Please note this is the 3 cell battery version with the 4 hour battery life.

Must have been the same e-mail - i didn't check the time

 

Bought mine from Ebuyer several months ago, but for way over 300 quid

they have a 3 cell & 6 cell version the ebuyer one is the 6

[tech_guy]

Well I got one from Staples last night. Sold Norton 360 on eBay for £20 last night. Ubuntu now sliding on nicely as I type. Not too worried about the fact it's a 3 cell battery as it's only going to be used for less than an hour a day.

the NC10 is a ledge on a netbook - is it a netbook, cos if feels more like a laptop to me, it's certainly a good buy no matter what. i have the 6 cell version and have been getting 12 hours or more out of it, about 10 playing music through headphones. the xp version they send is quite nice too. i havent tryed the nc10 with ubuntu but my asus 901eees' battery life dimished once i put ubuntu on it - dont know why but aparently it's known that batter life is longer with xp than ubuntu.
