5 Stars Awesome little netbook
Perfect graduation gift. It comes with us everywhere we go. VERY compact, great picture quality, sound is better than expected based on reviews. Perfect for note taking in class, surfing on trips where WiFi is available, etc.

5 Stars samsun NC10-14
I read all the other reviews before I bought and cannot say any more about it, except that all the 100+ reviews where right.Fantastic screen is on top of my list. Excellent, one limitation, but that not what I bought it for. I love to edit video and make slide shows. This is NOT the computer for that. The video card can’t keep up the show presentation. To many jumps, hesitations etc. But thats something I should have realized, since I spend top dollars to install a gamers video card on my home computer. Bottom line, the NC 10-14 is great.KAH

4 Stars Samsung NC10
Very, very nice netbook. My wife loves it. One problem which it, which apparently many people have (and I have too) is the wireless card. It is erratic and I have to restart and repair my wireless networks every so often. The problem I see with it is that if it is called a netbook, then why won’t it stay connected? One thing I did for problem was to apply all Microsoft updates and that seems to have cured the problem.

4 Stars Few Questions
Samsung NC10-11GP 10.2-Inch Pink Netbook – 6 Cell Battery

Does this come with English/Korean keyboard like the picture?? Also does it have wirelessin it??

3 Stars Not that great for the price…
Our average is having 3-4 computers/laptops at a time because we need them for work. We have two old/1st generation macbooks (quite heavy) and needed something easy to carry around. We have a quite good knowledge about computers, read many reviews, and became fascinated about the NC-10, which is a kind of “mystery” computer that is not sold in electronics stores (at least around here).

The screen is the best but does not support full HD (as the HP), which is bad because we cannot connect it to our flat screen TV to watch movies from Netflix. The mouse pad is way to small!!! The keyboard is as hard as the mouse keys… Construction seems sturdy but it does not matter much because Amazon packing was a joke and is a miracle that the computer arrived working.

It seems that we have to pay 15% of restocking fee to return it then the solution is pray to God to make it worth $399 on a $329 worth netbook (same as the Accer).

5 Stars n120 vs nc10 comparison ,n120 definitely better !
i just got my n120 in today ,so i went straight to my buddy’s house who has the white nc10 in his room so i can make a comparison only because before i made my purchase i was debating between these 2 but finally chose the newer model which is the n120 .here is my comparison….

-the n120 is 4cm wider which is about half an inch almost to accomodate the larger keyboard and side speaker design.

-the n120 has a shorter screen in height ,about 1 centimeter compare to the nc10 ,you can not tell the difference between these 2 screen in size by looking at it only if you measure,looks identical to me.samsung reduce the 1cm on the n120 to conserve battery life.

-the n120 is slightly thinner then the nc10 almost 1cm lower than the nc10

-the n120 has a sleeker design due to the rounder edges and more curved casing compare to the boxed shaped nc10

-n120 has a sharper and more crisp lcd screen but it is more glossy than the nc10 screen.there is a reason why there is a glossy lcd screen on the newer model cause it’s better

-both has the same brightness when maxed out and charger plugged in

-n120 has the led backlit technology for the lcd screen to conserve energy

-n120 has a clearer web camera ,maybe it’s the software or better updated hardware for the web cam that samsung provided.

-when maxing out the sound and volume system on both n120 and nc10 ,the n120 is definitely louder,more crisp,and more thump speaker/subwoofer system than the nc10 ,great for listening to hip hop music ,watch a action pack movie ,or play games in a noisy surrounding.

-n120 does not have the chrome line feature in the front which the nc10 has

-n120 is 1 cm longer in length due to the sleek edges i think.

-n120 has a better feel and better build quality when holding the netbook with one hand as the nc10 boxy casing do tend to squeak.

-n120 has a nicer oval power button as the nc10 has a circle power button

-n120 has a larger keyboard

-n120 has a mesh speaker design on the side next to the screen

sorry i haven’t done any battery testing ,overall i think the n120 is better than the nc10 (usually the updated model is better) . a way more sleeker design. the bigger keyboard and 2.1 channel srs trusurrond speaker system is a plus compare to the nc10.

5 Stars Samsung N120 A Total Winner!
I am a bit of a tech head when it comes to gadgets: computers and cameras etc, and I can definitely say without hesitation that the N120 is without a doubt a worthy netbook in a netbook savvy world. I love love love the look and feel and also, behavior of this little machine. Works like a champ in a big computer world. AAA***

5 Stars Samsung N120 – Excellent Product
I purchased the N120 over a month ago and I am extremely happy with the system. I had MS office 2007 pushed to my computer, and the system is still extremely responsive (office uses a bit of space). This computer is very good looking. The screen provides a crisp image and works well enough outside (coordinate glare/shade). The sound is good (I have no comparison w/ other systems). Wish it would project a bit stronger of a sound (listening to you tube videos, for example) but when alone, it is fine. The clarity of the sound is great.

Honestly, the reason I purchased a net book is because I only do simple stuff on the computer (MS Office, internet surfing, you tube video, itunes – thats about it!). I wanted something that looked good and a system that was reliable. I love samsung products in general, which also influenced my decision to buy the N120. I am SO glad I purchased this – it is well worth the money, for me.

5 Stars Among the best netbooks available.
I was torn between the 1000HE, MSI Wind U123, and the N120. I had also considered Samsung’s other models, including the N110 and NC10, but finally settled on the N120 and I couldn’t be more pleased.

Battery life on the N120 is very impressive. It is rated for 7.5 hours of use, but more is obtainable if you lock the CPU to minimum speeds (800MHz) and reduce brightness. I was able to top 9 hours of use with Wifi on and brightness at 2/8. Less conservative usage with higher brightness (4/8) and auto-cpu speed adjustment will still put you at a minimum of 6 hours. The MSI U123 tops these times by about an hour, but adding the half pound of weight and the hideous battery jutting out of the back was not a worthwhile tradeoff.

The keyboard is excellent. I’ve tried about 10 other netbooks, and none of their keyboards, except some of the larger HP netbooks, can compare. I can effectively touch type up to 150 WPM on the N120, and have no qualms with the action. I haven’t found any other keyboard in any netbook that allowed me to do the same. This includes the 1000HE, which, while it has one of the best 92% size keyboards, still feels unnatural. The 1000HE also has a common problem with characters sometimes double keying, which as of this review, has not been resolved.

The touchpad is quite good for a netbook. It is at least as generous in size than most others, and has just the right amount of sensitivity. The scrolling pad on the right side of the touchpad simulates a mouse wheel scroll, which is a nice feature that is less clumsy than the scroll gestures on other touchpads. Other finger gestures such as zooming are also supported.

The sound quality is very good for a netbook. The ’subwoofer’ is nothing to write home about, but does round out the lower to middle spectrum nicely. The volume goes high enough that you can listen to a movie comfortably without compromising on quality. I believe the sound system, while mediocre by laptop standards, is one of the best available on a netbook.

The display is glossy, though not nearly as much as other netbooks such as the Acer line. It is slightly harder to read outdoors than a matte screen, but the tradeoff is acceptable, as the visual clarity is excellent.

There’s a lot of software on the machine. The first time you boot the machine, it takes around 20 minutes until you are at the desktop. There is a fair bit of excessive software, including the memory hogging McAfee. Boot time was about 20 seconds when I stripped away all the excess software and upgraded memory to 2GB.

It’s built sturdy as a rock. It may not be the most stylish of netbooks, but there’s nothing flimsy about the build.

Some miscellaneous notes:

If 802.11n support is a deal breaker, the internal wireless card can be swapped out for an Intel 5300, which supports draft N. Changing it requires taking apart the case, but all you need is an ordinary Phillips screwdriver and steady hands.

The battery life indicator has a tendency to swing around because the discharge rate is constantly changing, because of, among other things, CPU load. Running out the battery to 5% then discharging the rest in the Smart Battery Calibration in the BIOS helps mitigate this. In my experience, actual battery life tends to be closer to the higher-end of the range you’ll see.

The two USB ports on the left side also support charging peripherals when the netbook is turned off. This is disabled by default, but can be enabled in the BIOS. Some people are making a big deal out of this in the newer netbooks, but never realized that the N120 supports it too.

5 Stars Great little computer
My Compaq was having trouble with the power supply conection, so I wanted somthing to replace it. I love this netbook, it is very fast, boots fast and the battery life is incredible. I have not taken off the proective screen cover yet, because I love the new look. I am a big fan of Samsung and have been for 25 years. I have owned Samsug TVs 4, a VCR and severial cell phones. I bought my Daughter a Acer netbook for Christmas and she is not as happy with it as I am with this one. The 10 inch screen is large enough for my older eyes. I would recomend this machine to anyone, and have.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Great Netbook
I bought my NC10 about a month ago now. I have been very pleased with it so far. I did upgrade the memory from 1GB to 2GB – it’s a very cost-effective upgrade with memory as cheap as it is now. It performs well, you can even do some light gaming on it. I mostly use it to surf the web, email, hulu.com, etc.

If your in the market for a Netbook, you can’t go wrong with the Samsung. And in reality, I’d dare say it’s one of the best ones on the market.

5 Stars Slick “mini” computer
I bought the NC10 for my wife to use at her “desk”; i.e. the kitchen table. It is small, lightweight, and easy to store when not use.

The screen is bright (with several settings) and easy to see. I like the Windows XP operating system since it is what I have on my other computers. Ergonomics are great; particularly the keyboard. I suppose the touch pad is fine but I don’t like them and bought a Digitech wireless mouse. To soon to know which my wife will prefer.

For web browsing and email this little guy works just as well as its bigger brothers (desktops and laptops). As a matter of fact it will become our travel computer. If I had found this sooner I would not have bought a laptop. Instead of the bulk/weight of a laptop the NC10 can be carried in a briefcase. It has a media player and the “My Documents” (including My Pictures) standard on XP. The screen is too small for me to use on a daily basis but fine for short time when away from home. You can also set up seperate settings for two (or more) people. When the computer starts we can choose between my wife or me.

But it does lack features found on full size computers. The biggest omission is a CD/DVD player. But you can buy a Samsung external CD/DVD drive which plugs right in with a USB port; you don’t need a seperate power source since it draws from the NC10. It also does not come with Windows Office and other software. The speakers are pitiful; not a problem for us but needs to be pointed out here.

Do buy the 2 GB memory card; it speeds up performance and is inexpensive. Even with my limited computer skills I swaped the cards in 5 minutes. Do read the “how to” in the User Guide included on the NC10 before swapping.

Price shop the heck out of the NC10; look beyond Amazon. I found the best deal after “googling” it. Paid under four bills. I noted while looking on Amazon today that price seems to very with color.

All in all, I’m very impressed with the Samsung. It is perfect for my wife as well as for travel. If I get heartburn over something, I’ll report back.

4 Stars Really lovin’ my Samsung!!
As a nursing student, this netbook fit the bill! It’s light enough to fit into my purse or backpack. I get compliments on the pink color, but mostly I’m asked about its performance. While it is not a fast as my Mac, it is gets the job done. The keyboard is surprising comfortable. The only issue I don’t like is having to hit the function key for some letters on the keyboard. Anyone know how to change that function, no pun intended, PLEASE let me know.

5 Stars Samsung Netbook Shines!
I looked at a variety of netbooks and this one simply outshined them all. I have not been disappointed. It’s perfect for on the go and does everything it should. Samsung did an excellent job.

I upgraded to 2 gig of ram and the installation was simple.

Some advice from personal experience. I purchased a generic external USB Slim DVD CD R/RW Drives Burner Writer from ebay for $30 to watch DVD’s and play games. They are usually $40-$50 with shipping included (shipped from China) and downloaded the Intervideo XPACK after coupon for $12 and have had no problems. If the audio/video freezes plug in the power usb cord in addition to the usb cord for playing the device and this solves the problem. This download gives you the software and decoder allowing you to play your DVD with the Intervideo, Windows Media Player or Real Player.

ATT is the best wireless card reviewed by CNET. They did a wireless card showdown this week.

Oh, don’t forget to use both the Windows Update and Samsung Update Plus and download the updates on a regular basis. Very easy to use.

4 Stars cute! cute! and it works ok, too.
I’m far from a techie, so I really liked the cute pink color – even though my three year old son’s finger prints do tend to show.

This was my first netbook, so there were a few things that I don’t exactly care for, but I understand they’re what you get with a netbook. First, it was a little slow pulling webpages. We upgraded the memory, and that helped a lot. If you do this, be sure to check crucial’s website to make sure you’re getting the right one. Amazon recommended the wrong one to me. Second, the speakers are practically nonexistant. That’s not normally a problem for me, but be prepared. Finally, the screen is really tiny. Be sure you know exactly what 10.2 inches means. Again, all of these issues are with netbooks in general, not with my Samsung NC10. Overall, I think it’s a great (and cute!) little machine. The battery life is phenomenal.

5 Stars Very nice, best netbook I’ve bought
I just sold my HP mini 1000 on Craigslist. It was a nice netbook but short on battery life and storage space. I also have an original acer aspire one 8.9″ with extended battery. That laptop was nice but screen is a bit small but has a nice bright screen and a somewhat cramped keyboard. But ok battery life. I still have that one. I also have a MSI wind U120 which isn’t bad but battery life isn’t great but ok. And then I have an ASUS 900HA, that was pretty cheap at less than $300. Its very small but the keyboard on those Eee PCs aren’t very good (bad place for shift key) but the small size makes up for it as its smaller than the acer aspire one 8.9 inch but isn’t good for long sessions .

Now I just got this from amazon for $399 and its my very favorite. The quality of the Samsung N120 is outstanding. The computer is Matte finished so no more fingerprints. The glossy screen is very nice and bright. Battery life is the best of all four. The keyboard is perfect at 97% full size.

I want to sell my other ones except maybe the asus 900HA.

After using this for one week now I am really impressed with the speakers. When I compare them to the other 4 netbooks they blow them away. itunes sounds great and you can actually hear the stereo sound and the ’subwoofer. I’m EXTREMELY happy with this purchase and can’t imagine a better netwook with a 10″ screen. Buy this and you will be extremely happy!

4 Stars Great cheap laptop — but non-square pixels
This is a great cheap laptop and I plan to use it as my main computer. The keyboard is great and the trackpad and buttons are acceptable. It makes a great word processor, Web browser, and player for DVD-quality videos.

Note that the screen is 8.78 inches wide and 4.94 inches tall (a 16:9 ratio) even though the pixels are 1024×600 (a 16:9.4 ratio). So the screen is 117 dpi horizontally and 121 dpi vertically — each pixel is stretched horizontally by four percent.

I didn’t notice this at first and it’s fine for browsing the Web, but if you’re playing back video, you’ll want to tell the video player that the monitor aspect ratio is 16:9, or everything will be just a little squished. That also goes for everything else you display.

4 Stars Samsung n120 a portable netbook for all
I wanted to get a netbook to have a computer that was portable. I do own a dell m4300, but it was heavy. Especially, when my family and I travel during the summer, I wanted something that I could listen to music and books and do e-mail on the go. I did a lot of research on netbooks.

This netbook stood out to me for a few reasons:

It’s keyboard. I have seen a few netbooks from other college friends and the keyboards did not amaze me. Samsung has outdone it on this product. The keyboard was very easy to type on. My only thing is I wonder why they only chose to include one windows key?

Anyone have anythoughts on that one?

Oh well, just one little odd design issue one can get used to.

Battery life was also great. I got between 6-8 hours on a charge.

From the first day I got it, everything just worked.

I was able to do skype with no problem.

People on skype say my internal microphone sounds quite good.

Listening to music and browsing the web was also a snap.

It found my wifi network right away-I was able to enter the wpa2 key and connect.

If you are looking for a computer with great audio battery life and a great keyboard then the n120 is the netbook for you.

5 Stars Best in Class
Samsung’s N120 is absolutely amazing and I’m very happy with the purchase. I did a lot of research over the past few months – and I’m not willing to settle for a netbook with less than six hours of video watching time or 10 hours of surfing/work time – I’d rather not have one honestly. The N120 delivers and more.

The keyboard is easy to use – much more comfortable than most for plane travel because of the unit’s overall small weight and footprint. In addition, the mouse trackpad works great – very impressive.

While the screen is reflective like all the new netbooks – and I did want a matte screen – like the other reviewers said, it’s about as non-reflective as a reflective screen can be – no complaints here.

Samsung took their immensely successful first generation NC10 – integrated the consumer feedback and delivered once again. The build quality and specs made this a no-brainer for me. I was leaning toward the HP and Lenovos but they haven’t been able to strike a balance between long battery life (all 6-cell netbooks are not created equal) and weight. Samsung did it with the NC10 and they’re doing it once again with this second generation: N110 and N120. If this second generation hadn’t just come out, I would have likely bought the NC10 if any.

Obviously, Samsung is reading the consumers better than the rest of the pack.

It even comes with its own neoprene-like (thick cloth) sleeve – which you’ll have to add your own velcro to. Why they chose to not put a velcro closure on it is a very good question.

Overall, I would buy this again – and will recommend to friends and clients.

5 Stars Amazing! And I have a question
I got this netbook because my 13″ Ibook died. I’m a mac-addict, and I wish Apple made a netbook. But, other than that, I love everything about the Samsung N120: The screen is amazing, the keyboard is more than generous and feels great, the size is perfect, it is easy to carry. [....]

My question is: Does anyone know what car charger would work with this? And is it okay to charge a computer when the car is running?
