The Samsung NC10-14GB is Samsung’s response to the netbook craze. 
This 10″ laptop contains most of the usual netbook features, including a 1024×600 display, the Intel Atom N270 processor running at 1.6 GHz, a 160 GB hard disk, 1 GB of RAM, and both Wi-Fi 802.11b/g and bluetooth radios. The system comes with a 6 cell battery, Windows XP Home, a 1.3 megapixel webcam, and weighs in at 2.8 pounds.
Samsung’s NC-10 carries a small premium over similar netbooks, currently retailing for ~$380 vs. $330-350 for similar products from Asus and Acer. The extra expense provides you with a laptop bearing the Samsung name and instilled with the company’s high-end sense of design. As Samsung is one of 
the world’s foremost manufacturers of LCD screens, it’s not surprising that the laptop has a stellar screen as well. The 1.3 megapixel webcam is relatively high resolution, a nice benefit when videoconferncing over a high speed connection.
Whether the Samsung NC-10 is right for you will depend largely on how you value the Samsung brand and a high quality netbook. This computer has a stellar keyboard, screen, and design, but that comes at a price. Combined with Samsung’s outstanding reputation, that is a price that may well be worth paying.
The NC-10 is available in blue, white, pink, or black.
To check current prices or buy the netbook, please check its page on Amazon and ebay.

Size is great; the keyboard is just about as big as a regular only one key was awkward for me–quickly gotten used to; I’ve been able to hook up wireless everywhere, no problem..
