The netbook industry has noticed a enormous jump in sales over recent time as more and more users have been very keen to keep on connected whilst on the go. Although gizmos like the iPhone have provided that ‘connectivity fix’ for a lot of users there are in addition a new sub-set of people who require extra display space and keyboard ability to keep them hooked.
So, along comes the netbook which is just a smaller version of your typical laptop. Intended primarily for surfing the netbook has turned out to be a very big hit and the dimension, along with the lower cost, has been the key selling points.
And amongst some of the most popular netbooks are the NC10 Black from Samsung. In actuality since it was launched back in 2008 it has developed into one of the biggest netbooks sold on the WWW.
Samsung seem to have latched onto the end user requirement fantastically well and their well considered NC10 Blue is testament to what a major barnd can do, and at a small part of the cost of one of their much more costly, and bigger, stablemates.
The NC10 comes in 4 colours. The standard Black, the pure White, the Blue for Boys and of course…yes you guessed it….the NC10 Pink for girls. They have covered all their options and gone for a mass market appeal.
They all have a very strong specification:
- Intel Atom processor
- 10.2 inch widescreen display is optimised to deliver a seamless visual experience
- Genuine Microsoft Windows XP Home
- Normal-size, notebook PC style keyboard, for easy typing
- Integrated 1.3 mega pixel digital motion camera
Once set up, it completes a backup of the initial setup so that you can always roll back to its original state. You can download updates for Windows and it recommended I download Internet Explorer 7.
One weak point is the size of the touch pad, it is small, but this is for the reason that the keyboard uses a large amount of the space. Another matter is that it has a single rocker button, so you can’t press both buttons at the same time.
