Just in: Samsung NC10 netbook

UPDATE: Read the full Samsung NC10 review here.

It’s the one we’ve been waiting for, and now it’s arrived – rather unhelpfully, late on a Friday afternoon. The Samsung NC10 is the one we all think will challenge the Eee PC for the netbook crown, and from first impressions we remain convinced.
It’s the first netbook we’ve seen that actually looks like a laptop. It has much in common with Samsung’s larger portable models, and the manufacturer has been sure to spend a little time on the styling. Where the brilliant Eee PC 1000H looks like, well, a my-first-laptop, and the MSI Wind is curvy but feels like a toy, the NC10 has the silver trim and little style touches that make it feel like a polished, fully-fledged laptop.
The keyboard is every bit as comfortable as the Eee, and the screen looks like every other small TFT we’ve seen in the netbook range. If we have a complaint it’s that the touchpad is on the small side, and all too easy to slide off without realising. The joint mouse buttons aren’t ideal either. But we like what we see so far, and with battery life rumoured to be as impressive as the Eee, we look forward to benchmarking it thoroughly.

First look: Samsung’s NC10 netbook

———————————————–
Harrod’s unveiled its refurbished Sound & Vision department last night – and very nice it was too – with a host of major manufacturers, including LG, Sony, Philips and HP, taking over various corners of the hall to hawk their latest HDTVs, camcorders, mp3 players and more.
Samsung managed to somewhat steal the show, though, by formally unveiling several new notebooks. We’ve already seen the X360 and X460 in all their luxurious, portable finery, but the more intriguing – and surprising – event was a somewhat low-key appearance by Samsung’s entry into the netbook market, the NC10.
As you can see from the photos, it’s a stylish-looking machine – the blue, slightly glittery finish looks far better than the traditional Eee PC-white which, predictably, is also available.
