 Best netbook available, but not worth the risk of nano silver! January 8, 2009
As the other reviews have pointed out, as well as reviews on various computing web sites, the Samsung netbook is the probably the best choice out there. For me, the keyboard was the major decider: I can type on it as quickly and accurately as on my full-sized keyboard.
Unfortunately, the keyboard was also why I returned my beautiful little netbook (not easy, as I'd fallen in love with the little unit). After purchasing it, I read up a bit about nano silver -- the anti-bacterial coating on the Samsung keyboard. The silver particles are, like all nano particles, so small that they will readily enter the body through the skin. And some preliminary data suggest that these tiny bits of silver MAY be toxic to our immune (and other) systems. Check out Science News Web Edition for 11/30/08 - not enough data yet, but I'm not willing to take the risk. It's the MSI Wind for me!
 The little blue wonder January 8, 2009
I am very excited as this is my first Netbook, and it's probably the best one that you could get in the market at present time. Samsung pretty much took the best features from different brands and makes of Netbooks, and cramped them into this one nice and tiny package.
Pros: The size and weight is great. Strap this into your backpack and you're ready to go. The power brick is tiny as well. If you're always travelling or on the road, but you don't want to lose touch with people over Skype or any IM engine, the in-built 1.3MP webcam and microphone work great! With 5-7hours of battery life, I think this is totally a deal breaker. The network adapter picks up any available Wi-fi signals really well. Bluetooth is also a bonus, considering this feature is absent on the european versions.
Cons: The touchpad is too small and takes a little more effort to get comfortable with it. It's quite responsive, and the single-button with a rocker in the middle works okay. The glossy coat on the surface of the outer casing is a finger print magnet. The white NC10 with matte finishing works much better IMHO.

I've got the iphone, but I wanted a netbook as a device to use anywhere in the house for things like email, looking up recipes in the kitchen, sitting in front of the fireplace and doing work. This thing is fast, the keyboard is fantastic, and battery life is amazing. I love it. All the research pointed to the samsung and it was right!
Best netbook currently on the market January 7, 2009

So when my HP laptop broke down, I wanted to find a new computer that would be affordable but functional. That's when I discovered the netbook genre. With so many brands out there, Asus's Eee Pc, Acer's Aspire one, MSI's Wind, HP's Atom, the list goes on, it can get a bit confusing. But at the end of the day, all of these netbooks are similar, if not exactly the same when it comes down to the technical specifications (screen size, processor, hard drive, wireless card, software, etc).
But there are several features that set this netbook apart. First, the Samsung NC-10 came out on top with its 6 cell battery (many other netbooks only have a 3 cell), which equals a MINIMUM of 4.5 hours, and easily over 7 hours when in its power saving mode. Also, this model has a 160GB hard drive, leaps and bounds over what many other netbooks offer. And, in another great stride, if you want to increase the RAM (from 1gb to 2gb), Samsung did a brilliant job making the RAM so accessible. It's as simple as removing a screw from a panel on the bottom of the computer that says "Memory", removing the panel, and switching out the memory aka RAM. The function keys are very useful, for everything from volume, screen resolution, power mode, wireless networking, external screen options, and more, making using this computer a genuinely fun experience. I had Vista running on my old laptop, and even though I have not upgraded the RAM, this thing runs effortlessly with the XP provided. If you are worried about Windows XP, don't be, because I have transferred every single application that I had with Vista to this computer, and have lost zero performance. It even has a slot to insert SD memory cards (unfortunately not for memory sticks).
Now, nothing is perfect. First of all, I have medium sized hands, and though the keyboard works great for touch typing, there isn't much space between the start of the keyboard and the end of the computer to rest your wrists on, which can strain yours hands after a while. Purchasing a wrist pad will help. Also, one drawback of having one of the roomiest keyboards on the netbook market (95% full size) means this has a smaller touch pad. It's very reactive and has the same pinch/stretch properties that apple touchpads have, but it still takes some getting used to. Also, I got this in blue, and the top is a fingerprint magnet. And if you plan on playing music from your netbook, be sure to get external speakers, because these speakers are by far the worst thing about it, with a generic tinny sound to them.
If I had to go back and do it again, I would definitely buy this computer again. Of course, in the world of technology, things constantly change, so in about a year I may have my eyes on a Vista or Windows 7 netbook, but for now I'm very happy with this purchase.

There is absolutely no reason to pick another of the new ultra-portables. This is the best tech purchase I ever made. It is the only one with 2G of RAM and a solid 7 hours of battery life (For Real). I had two of the others (Asus and Acer)before I got this one, and there is no comparison whatsoever.
