Samsung NP-NC10 Netbook

Build quality
When it comes to build quality, the Samsung NP-NC10 is a cut above other netbooks.� It is chunky, robust and flaunts a solid design. Even the color used is all-solid, the one we tested was an elegant metallic violet.

The overall impressive build quality also includes the sturdy lid and bezel. With aptly arranged keys, the keyboard is one of the better ones we’ve seen so far. The touch pad is smaller than that of other netbooks but is comfortable and has a scroll zone. So overall, we’d say this one scores well on build quality.

Performance
As far as performance goes, there isn’t much to differentiate the NC10 from other standard netbooks. When stacked up against the Asus 1000H, the NC10 matches it in performance in most cases.

The memory bandwidth is the same, and even the processing power doesn’t falter in comparison.� It performs as well as any Atom N270-based netbook. Sound quality is good and even the battery life is tremendous with nearly a whopping 5 hours when using regular applications.

Conclusion
Considering that the Samsung NP-NC10 is priced at Rs. 28,477; we recommend you buy this netbook if your priorities are battery life, build quality and a no-nonsense color scheme.
