Samsung NP-NC10-KB02US 10.1 inch Netbook Computer (Blue) Customer Review


I have used my blue Samsung NC-10 for a few months now, and I like it very much. However, as warned by other reviewers, opening the plastic cover on the bottom to upgrade the RAM from one Gig to two was hair-raising. Very difficult and scary.

I had to apply a lot of pressure to begin to get the cover off, and then it stuck, half-way off. I could not get it back on, and I had to pry really hard to finish removal. I felt sure that I had broken my new computer! However, the cover did come off, I did upgrade the RAM, and so far the RAM cover seems un-damaged.

By the way, the reviewer who warned that Amazon was recommending the wrong RAM upgrade seems to have been correct. I went to the Crucial web site and ordered what Crucial recommended for the Samsung NC-10, and that has worked fine. This is NOT the RAM recommended by Amazon.

I also noticed a thread with an ongoing debate as to which RAM is correct. So, good luck!

If you want an external optical drive, I CANNOT recommend the Lite On DVD/CD rewritable drive, model eSAU208. I plan to review it elsewhere, but I note here that the software which Lite On provides will NOT install on the Samsung NC-10. I had to use software from another drive I bought for a different computer. The Lite On drive sometimes is not recognized by the computer, and it vibrates and rattles as it works. Not horrible, but not good either.

The NC-10 itself is a pleasure to use. Rarely crashes, boots quickly, and the keyboard is fine. I have large hands, and I like to type on this computer. The screen is beautiful. The case does show fingerprints.

Overall, except for the awful RAM cover, I love this computer.

ASUS Eee PC 4GB 7" Mini Notebook Computer with Linux - Galaxy Black Customer Review


This is a great little travel/starter notebook.

Pros: VERY lightweight & portability, good screen visibility, ease of use.

Cons: After several months of use, the battery life decreases, linux can be tricky for someone used to Windows or MacOS.

I have had mine since roughly 05/2008, and will continue to use it for some time. I will be seeking a better replacement battery, though.

ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1008HA-MU17-BK 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - 6 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter) Customer Review


I decided to purchase this one because it met and exceeded my requirements for a NETBOOK. The specs on this baby match up better than most. Great keyboard and mouse, keys feel great, wireless n, fast boot, upgradeable from 1GB to 2GB, user friendly ASUS Bios updater interface, Microsoft works, lightweight. You must understand first the context of my statement. I wanted a NETbook. Not a Laptop. I didnt want an "ultimate" or Professional" version of ANYTHING running on this NETbook. I wanted it to be lean and mean. I wanted a small, powerful, convenient AND FAST NETbook for casual surfing and email. If you wanted more, your in the wrong market. I didnt buy this to play games, edit, video, watch TV or DVD's, etc. Like I said I didn't want a Laptop. Windows Starter 32 bit is an excellent match for a NETbook. Think of Windows 7 Starter as just that, the place to start. I figured, if I NEED an "anytime upgrade" Ill get it. At this point, having had used it for a week, I'm not changing a thing. Less is more with a NETbook. Ill save upgrades for my LAPtop and DESKtop. From when I push the power button to my first opening click of Firefox = less than one minute. I removed some preloaded crapware, i.e. ASUS whistles and bells and some preloaded games. Added Norton Internet Security Netbook Edition, and bingo, the perfect NETbook.
