Samsung NP-NC 10
Read the Full Review
Price: Rs.25,500



Samsung's first attempt at a Netbook has paid off very well. The NC 10 is great performing Netbook when it comes to battery life and is dressed smartly too in a funky shade of blue, perfect for young college students.

The Samsung NC10 is a simple but well-designed Netbook that keeps practicality in mind. The port layout is a lot better when compared to other Netbooks giving you easy access to a all the ports. Although the keys follow the traditional design, the spacing is good, making it very comfortable to use. The build quality is great and the Netbook feels very sturdy. It's not the slimmest Netbooks we've seen but it's quite light, weighing in at just 1.33Kg.

Reasons to buy it
  • Battery Life: Just like the Eee PC 1000HE, the NC 10 sports a pretty impressive battery life of 7hrs and 20min which is very close to the rated 8hrs battery life.
  • Finger gestures: Besides the vertical and horizontal scroll, the 1000HE offers multiple finger gestures, which again means you can zoom in and out or jump directly to the last page in a document a lot quicker.

I read somewhere that youtube or for that matter any streaming videos do not play on netbooks. Is this part true?

Dear MDBBy....You seem to be having no idea of the netbook brands....Acer funding for getting a good review of Asus Netbooks?? quite strange. My dear 1000HE is the only Netbook available in Indian market today with N280 Atom processor. And which other netbook can boast of 9.5 hrs back up, which is the key factor to be considered while going in for a Netbook??

I agree with Anon. The Wind U123 is easily the most balanced netbook, and is a $100 cheaper than the 1000HE, yet it is not mentioned anywhere? Terrible article.
