Screen white-out Jul 30, 2010 My NC10 worked well for almost a year and then a problem started: when charging the computer while it was running, the screen would totally white out. If I unplugged the charger, it would return to normal. I checked the internet and saw that this was a common problem with NC10s. Unfortunately by the time I contacted Samsung, I had owned the computer for about one week over the one-year warrantee period. The representative that I talked with contacted his supervisor and said that they would honor the warrantee. I told him that I was on travel and could not return the computer for about a month, and he agreed that this was ok - he would document our call so the rep I talked to in a month could see his notes. When I got home after a month, I called Samsung to arrange the return of the computer for repair, and this time I was told that they would not honor the warrantee. I asked them to check with a supervisor but still got turned down. The rep referred me to an authorized repair facility where I was told that the problem was probably a harness and that there was a bulletin out from Samsung pointing out this problem. This defective harness was clearly a design or manufacturing defect and it is unfortunate that Samsung won't back their product. I paid $81.49 for the repair and all seems well again, but it will be the last Samsung I will buy.
Great netbook Jun 14, 2010 I have absolutely no complaints about this netbook.Has been my everyday computer for a year and a half
Don't believe the battery life. May 13, 2010 Don't believe the stated battery life. I mainly bought this netbook because of the long battery life advertised. After a short period of time, it would not hold a charge for very long. Now after 6 months or so, the battery dies in less than 8 hours even when the laptop is turned off. It is not very fast and with the lack of battery, it is not a useful laptop for travel. The screen is tiny, so it is not very useful for home either. I would not buy another one, although it is light for travel, if you can't use it without keeping it plugged in, it doesn't matter how light it is.
a netbook for my wife Apr 07, 2010 As a testament to the reliability of the NC10 I thought i would post this.
My wife is hooked on facebook, and spends all evening every evening tending her farm. The NC10 has spent every night 5hrs+ for well over a year running on battery and has never missed a beat.
Personally i think everyone should try one before comitting to a netbook. The screen is too small to display a web page properly, with the wrong aspect ratio. And typing on the keyboard is a challenge for fat fingered folk like me.
I just got rid of a 10" dell and will probaly try the iPad for a bit before moving back to a "proper" notebook.
But my wife likes her NC10 and thats whats important.
no regrets Mar 21, 2010 I got this almost a year ago, use it only on my home wireless network, and have had no real problems. A few minor issues were resolved by googling, reading the forums at [...], and just getting reacquainted with my router. From others' experiences, I guess I'm lucky not to need Samsung support.
