The laptop industry has seen a great rise in sales over recent time as more and more users have become keen to keep on linked while on the move. Although gizmos like the iPhone have provided that ‘connectivity fix’ for a lot of people there are also a new sub-set of people who want extra display space and keyboard capacity to keep them hooked.
So, along comes the netbook which is just a smaller version of your typical laptop. Intended chiefly for surfing the netbook has turned out to be a massive hit and the size, along with the lower asking price, has been the major selling points.
And among some of the most well-liked netbooks are the NC10 Black from Samsung. In fact 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 consumer requirement fantastically well and their well considered www.nc10.co.uk/nc10_blue.php is verification to what a major barnd can do, and at a small percentage of the cost of one of their much more expensive, and bigger, stablemates.
The NC10 comes in 4 colours. The normal Black, the pure White, the Blue for Boys and of course…yes you guessed it….the www.nc10.co.uk/nc10_pink.php 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 does a backup of the original setup so that you can forever roll back to its original state. You can download updates for Windows and it recommended I download Internet Explorer 7.
One weakness is the size of the touch pad, it’s not very big, but this is for the reason that the keyboard uses most of the space. Another issue is that it has a single rocker button, so it’s not possible to press both buttons simultaneously.
