Looking for Great Battery?, Meet the Samsung NC10
The NC10 has one of the best batteries we’ve seen in a Netbook, second only to the current 9- and 10-inch Eee PC models from Asus. With about five hours from a not-too-bulky 6-cell battery, it’s a good choice for long flights or extended coffee shop sessions.
Above all, The Samsung NC10 has joined the ranks of 10-inch netbooks—including the Eee PC 1000H, MSI Wind, and Lenovo IdeaPad S10—and it beats them all. The $499 NC10 may have the same cookie-cutter specs as its competitors, including a 1.6-GHz Intel Atom processor, 1GB of RAM, and Windows XP, but its spacious, well-positioned keyboard and more than 6 hours of battery life make this system our favorite 10-inch netbook yet.
The Samsung NC10 isn’t the flashiest netbook to grace our labs. The white matte lid (also available in Navy Blue in the U.S.), whose only adornment is its mirrored Samsung logo, is smooth, and its rounded square edges give the system a more professional look than the MSI Wind or the Eee PC 1000H manages. The silver trim and glowing blue and reddish orange status lights on the front edge project a futuristic aura. The blue glowing power button, positioned on the circular right hinge, reminds us of the premium Sony VAIO TT.
Even though at first glance, Samsung’s take on the traditional 10-inch Netbook is about as bland as these tiny little systems get. It lacks the big keyboard of HP’s Mini 1000 or the ExpressCard slot of the Lenovo S10, and if you stuck it in a lineup with Netbooks from Acer and MSI, you’d be hard-pressed to pick it out.
