Hi Friends, I was in need of a compact laptop for my basic work and was searching for one and I found out the “Samsung NP-NC 10” Net book .A Net book is a typical form of a compact notebook and quite similar to it, but cheaper in comparison as it has a few less features in comparison to a Note book. It comes with one year international warranty.
I have been using this for quite sometime now and am very happy with its performance. Let me first describe here its features and Pros as under:-
1) It comes in two colours viz regular black and glossy blue. I opted for the glossy blue as it looked quite impressive in it. It is light weighted with a weight of only 1.33 Kgs much lesser than the big screen laptops. It runs on an Intel atom processor (1.6 GHz) and the size of the LCD screen is a wide 10.2” quite impressive for a compact one. No reading difficulties at all. The clarity of the LCD screen is marvellous and the colour display is brilliant.
2) It has a 160 hard disk drive and 1 GB DDR2Ram. The speed is amazingly good while using it for various purposes. The battery is a rechargeable lithium ion one which can run continuously for 4 to 7hours on a trot depending on your usage of various functions and applications at a go. You can also run it on six cells (5200 mAh, 11.1 V) in emergency.
3) It comes with pre-installed genuine windows XP Home and MacAfee Antivirus by the company.
4) It comes with multi card slots supporting MMC, SD and SDHC cards according to your need. It has a nice Bluetooth too. It is fitted with a digital motion 1.3 MP camera with an in built microphone. It lets you capture fine still photographs and you can record wonderful videos too.It provides 3 USB ports including video monitor port, head phone jack and Wired LAN. You can connect it to an external device like a large monitor or T.V for viewing pleasure. You can also make presentations through this feature and can also watch your recorded videos in a larger mode. You have an option of wireless LAN too.
5) The Keyboard is quite impressive and each of the 84 buttons are wide enough to satisfy you. Each key has a 17.7 mm pitch which is quite nice for a compact piece like this and while working, I never felt the crampiness.It just felt like I was working on a regular keyboard of a P.C.
6) The touch pad (Which can be used as a cordless mouse) is wide and also very responsive to actions of the hands and very easy to maneuver. I liked it.
The Cons: - There is no optical drive. You will have to purchase an external optical drive to satisfy this need. The body could have been a little bit slimmer and trendier.
The “Samsung NP-NC 10” is a praiseworthy, sturdy and a powerful performer with some excellent features that will always keep you on the move.Just have it”.
