Samsung NC10 Reviews
There have been quite a number of reviews done on Samsung NC10 since its release in November 2008. Here are the roundup for all these reviews:

1. Review from Laptop Magazine (Rated 4 out of 5 stars):

"Until now, no other netbook has been able to match the 10-inch MSI Wind’s endurance, strong performance, and spacious keyboard. Samsung’s NC10 is the only product that provides comparable—and even improved—features for a lower price. Its comfortable, well-positioned keyboard, speedy and spacious hard drive, and more than 6 hours of endurance make the $499 Samsung NC10 the most well-rounded 10-inch netbook on the market. While the $549 MSI Wind (with a six-cell battery) is an excellent choice, it will cost you $50 more. Those willing to sacrifice some touchpad room will find the Samsung NC10 to be a great mobile companion."

2. Review from PC Pro (Rated 5 out of 6 stars)

Samsung's NC10 may have arrived fashionably late, but it takes its place as the best netbook of the bunch.

It's been a long time coming, but Samsung's debut in the already crowded netbook market is finally here. It's up against some pretty stiff competition, though, so the burning question is whether Samsung's alchemists have used that time to perfect the netbook formula.

If its name hasn't given the game away already, the NC10 is a 10.2in netbook. That leaves it with a similar footprint to Asus's Eee PC 1000H and MSI's Wind, and it weighs in at a very portable 1.3kg. So far, so ordinary.

3. Review from Trusted Reviews (Rated 9 out of 10)

"It might be late to the party, but Samsung has clearly listened to users and learned from the competition, thus producing a supremely balanced proposition. Attractive design and reassuring build quality are married to a great keyboard and superb battery and if one or two things, like the token slip case, could be improved upon, all is forgotten when you look at the price. Unless integrated HSDPA is high on your agenda, you can buy an NC10 with great confidence. In its class: it is the best."

From what we can see from all these reviews, Samsung NC 10 is no doubt one of the best netbook that you can get. At this time, the pink model of Samsung NC10 is available for pre-order on 2 UK online retailers: dabs.com and Overlockers.. and according to trusted source, it will be available in the U.S. pretty soon!
