Samsung NC10 reviewed
Sammynetbook.com has published a review of the newly released SAMSUNG NC10. Here is the summary of his review:
- Connectivity is fantastic operating at full wireless speeds
- Camera is good quality
- Good weight,
- Powerful yet cool and quiet
- The LEDs look cool, and that’s what really counts ;)
- Keyboard is great, there are a couple of keys that feel out of place but you’ll get used to it quick enough
- Scrolling up and down isnt ideal with the trackpad, get learning all the keyboard shortcuts! Or plug in a mouse!
- Boots relatively quick
In general I find the Samsung NC10 very snappy and responsive, strangely even more so than my Quad Core desktop machine when it comes to light tasks. For general browsing I do recommend installing Chrome and ditching IE. Chrome proves to be much quicker in every respect, from simply loading up standard pages and as expected in online applications too.
It takes 27 seconds to boot to the windows front user selection screen and from there another 30 seconds to get Chrome started. I’ll be interested to see how that changes as I begin to load more software onto the machine. But for now I’m impressed by that start up time, it’s quicker than my desktop!
The Samsung NC10 to date has handled everything that I’ve thrown at it with very reasonable performance. I am fast getting the impression that this little netbook will be able to run everything that I need on the move and do it a solid fashion. However I am only part way through installing applications at this stage and there is plenty more to load on and only time will tell if my initial comments hold out! And all this without performing a 2gb NC10 Ram upgrade yet!
