 Great little student computer November 20, 2009
T. Pfingsten (Fallbrook, California)
I bought this computer four months ago for a return to grad school. I commute via bicycle and train, and my other laptop was too bulky and heavy to bring, so I turned to the Samsung NC-10. After several months of heavy use, I still love this little computer. It's light, the battery just goes and goes, and it does everything I need it to while on the go.
I agree with some of the complaints about build quality. Three of the four rubber feet that keep the thing from sliding around on desks have vanished, and it does make some noise when you open it. But it hasn't fallen apart, doesn't feel like it's going to any time soon, and for the price it's a complete bargain.
NC-10 vs. Asus 1005HA-PU1X November 20, 2009
Ubiq (South Pasadena, CA United States)
I bought an NC-10 a few months back. I then made the mistake of allowing one of my kids to use it. After a week of wheedling, I surrendered the netbook to him, and so, was in the market for a new machine. After endless dithering I settled on a PU1X and placed the order. My observations are consequently based on the hands-on experience of a single example of each model.
I selected the PU1X over another NC-10 based on hardware variations: the Asus had the slightly faster processor (1.66 v. 1.60 Ghz.), wireless N, and marginally longer battery life. The prices of the two were virtually identical.
Out of the box, the Samsung has the better "finish". The keyboard is "chunkier", with a more certain touch. The overall feel of the NC-10 is closer to that of a high-end notebook than the Asus. The 1005HA is significantly noisier than the Samsung, and runs hotter.
The final deal-breaker was the bloatware on the Asus. It took significantly longer to boot and is overloaded with intrusive software that causes everything to run slower, even after pruning it back. Updating XP from the initial configuration to current took at least twice as long on the Asus, as does opening Firefox, or any other program.
The Asus goes back today; I'll be getting another NC-10.
Awesome!!! November 17, 2009
L. Vu
I just love this tiny computer to death!
Pros:
- The keyboard is not crammed like some other netbooks. Even though it takes a while to get used to having the PageUp/Down button the same as Home/End button, it's actually very convenient once you're used to it.
- Battery life is long.
- Light and very good for college students who take notes on their computers.
- Looks very cute :)
Cons:
- The touchpad is a little small so scrolling using the touchpad is hard.
- Wireless does not work sometimes, but very well most of the time.
 Poor Quality, Poor Service November 12, 2009

I purchased Samsung NC10 with an expectation that I was getting a stripped down version of a laptop. Unfortunately, Samsung appears to be also using low quality parts. Two weeks after I recevied it, the screen went white. Apparently it is a common problem with this model (Google "Samsung NC10 white screen"). When I called customer service, I was given a runaround - advice to reinstall ..., then was told that a ribbon cable will be mailed to me within 2 weeks to replace it by myself (after ~6 weeks I got a POWER CABLE in the mail). WhenI called again after 3 weeks, I was told that they do not ship ribbon cables and that I had to send the netbook to Samsung for service. That was a while ago and they still have it. Confirmation email said that repair was going to take 5 working days ("Your product should be ship back to you within 5 business days." - their grammar}. I called after 9. First representative told me that they were waiting for the part (I guess a lot of warranty repairs). When I finally (a bit of a runaround again) got to talk to the repair department, they refused to provide any information other than "it is being evaluated" and were rather anoyed that I was calling so soon ("We had it for only 11 days and only 7 working days" - it was actually 13 and 9).
For the limited amount of time I was able to use it, it was what I expected. Small screen is difficult to read at times, usefull battery life is ~3-4 hours. One can get a longer battery life, but the tradeoff is a very dark screen and, as it is small to start with, it is difficult to read. Touch pad is of low quality and inferior to those comonly found in ordinary laptops (I use Dell and Fujitsu).
Overall, poor quality was bad enough, but with service this bad, I won't be buying anyting from Samsung in the foreable future.
 Lightweight travel netbook November 8, 2009
Donald Kollmorgen (Irvine, CA)
This netbook has the feel of quality. It is light weight, and is a lot more convenient for traveling than a regular sized laptop. I sometimes get frustrated with the screen because it doesn't always display what you would see on a full-sized screen - an inch or so of the bottom is missing. When using Photoshop and trying to print, the place to click on "Print" is just about off-screen, and you cannot see where to click to print. Unless they are on the road with this PC, most of the people I know have attached a larger screen to this PC and then you can see all of the display. Even if it was distorted/compressed, I wish there was a way to see all of the screen sometimes for those programs that have function selections near the bottom of the screen. When I am traveling and just reading email, the machine works okay, but to me, it's a little too sensitive and I sometimes find I an doing a couple of actions because I've tapped the little mouse pad too much or something, and I can't find how to desensitize the mouse pad. I try to use an external mouse whenever I can, and that helps my operations a lot. Without the external mouse, I have to be really careful or I am moving folders and files when I only try to open a file. Overall, this is a good traveling companion, but a little too temperamental for concentrated work.
