Samsung NP-NC10-KB02US 10.1 inch Netbook Computer (Blue) Review
I have used my blue Samsung NC-10 for a few months now, and I like it very much. However, as warned by other reviewers, opening the plastic cover on the bottom to upgrade the RAM from one Gig to two was hair-raising. Very difficult and scary.
I had to apply a lot of pressure to begin to get the cover off, and then it stuck, half-way off. I could not get it back on, and I had to pry really hard to finish removal. I felt sure that I had broken my new computer! However, the cover did come off, I did upgrade the RAM, and so far the RAM cover seems un-damaged.
By the way, the reviewer who warned that Amazon was recommending the wrong RAM upgrade seems to have been correct. I went to the Crucial web site and ordered what Crucial recommended for the Samsung NC-10, and that has worked fine. This is NOT the RAM recommended by Amazon.
I also noticed a thread with an ongoing debate as to which RAM is correct. So, good luck!
If you want an external optical drive, I CANNOT recommend the Lite On DVD/CD rewritable drive, model eSAU208. I plan to review it elsewhere, but I note here that the software which Lite On provides will NOT install on the Samsung NC-10. I had to use software from another drive I bought for a different computer. The Lite On drive sometimes is not recognized by the computer, and it vibrates and rattles as it works. Not horrible, but not good either.
The NC-10 itself is a pleasure to use. Rarely crashes, boots quickly, and the keyboard is fine. I have large hands, and I like to type on this computer. The screen is beautiful. The case does show fingerprints.
Overall, except for the awful RAM cover, I love this computer.

| Review by Tuan A. Pham (USA) 2010-03-02 I was looking for a netbook with the latest processor N450 for me to take on trips. I have bought Dell and Acer netbook for my children, so I had some experience with them. I reduced to 2 choices: the HP Mini 1010NR-210 and AO532h Acer.

Since I withdrew my computing needs have changed, and I thought that a book might be a good net game for me now. I have done much research and shopping online. My primary requirement was the battery life. I wanted something I could use the plug for a whole day, from NE... Read more reviews | ||
