There’s a decent range of reviews of the Samsung NC10 around the web. I’ve gathered together 10 of those here. I actually trawled through a few dozen to gather these and, across the whole lot, I found only a single review that didn’t recommend buying the NC10. Even that review was based on an early prototype of the machine.

You can tell most of these reveiwers have actually had the machine & given it a good test. A few are in-depth with several pages of benchmarks, images, videos.

The Samsung NC10’s ultrabright LED screen is amazing for most purposes. But when you’re using it at home to edit photos you may find yourself wanting a larger screen. That’s no problem because the NC10 is one of the few netbooks that makes it easy to attach an external monitor, projector or TV…

The German blog EEE PC News spotted the Samsung NC10 on QVC in the UK.

The NC10 was QVC’s ‘deal of the day’ and – while I’m not really a QVC fan – I have to say they did a good job of reviewing it and seem to know what they’re talking about. One thing they mentioned was a few of the awards the NC10 has picked up:

• What Laptop Gold Award
• Sunday Times 5 Star Rated
• T3 5 Star Rated
• Trusted Reviews Best Notebook Award

A question that comes up often about the Samsung NC10 is “is it powerful enough to play games?”

Well the answer is “it depends what you’re playing”!

If you’re looking for a full-time gaming machine to play WOW on, then you should probably look for something more powerful… BUT if you’re looking for something that can handle most games and can fit in your bag, then the Samsung NC10 can probably handle what you need.

To prove it, here’s some footage of the NC10 running a high-spec game (Grand Theft Auto: Vice City):

Here’s a selection of some of the best laptop sleeves for the Samsung NC10. One of the benefits of the netbook is it’s so small you can just throw it in an overnight bag, suitcase or briefcase. It’s worth getting a sleeve to protect it though:

Of all the netbooks that have come out to date, the Samsung NC10 is quite clearly the best. Samsung have built it for real mobility, not just another ‘me too’ ultraportable.

BUT – if you’re still not convinced how good this thing is, here’s a run-down of 10 reasons to buy the NC10…

1. The Battery Life

This is the obvious one. At 8 hours (realistically, you can get just under 7 hours). Check out the Samsung NC 10 Battery Life post for more details

2. The Screen

Samsung are well known as one of the best screen makers in the industry. Their panels are so good they’re used by many of their rivals (many Dell monitors use samsung panels). On top of that, the NC10 uses a 10.2″ LED panel. LED panels warm up instantly, they don’t contain mercury (more eco-friendly) and they’re less likely to get screenburn or fade.

Take a look at the Samsung NC10 keyboard from above:

As you can see the Samsung NC10 has 84 full-size keys. This is in contrast to some of the smaller ultraportables. The NC10 also has very nice ergonomics, and it feels like the keyboard has actually been through about rather than an after-thought.

Full-size keyboard might not sound like a big deal, but it really improves the feel of the laptop and will increase your typing speed.

The layout is quite similar to some of the Sony VAIO range (though most of those cost 3 or 4 times as much). Another nice bonus is the comfortably-sized trackpad.
