NC10 has a superb keyboard. It’s also got Bluetooth and that is a mega plus where portability and access to any external data is concerned. Difference between the 2 processors is undetectable in use. Screen is the best out there. For pure functionality NC10 pours it on with style

cheers, yes i didnt know about all that. ive seen as well that the 1005ha is the newer version of the he model, with the n280 chip for £300. im still unsure as the shops here only have a few models and you cant try them out. thay dont have the nc10 or asus to look at which is poor.

Hi John! I’m just about to order a netbook, and I’ve landed on the 1000HE and NC10 aswell. I am however leaning towards the NC10, as it seems just more like much better build quality. From what I’ve found out, the 1000HE, while beeing a great netbook and all, has an extremely noisy fan. I had an Asus EEE PC 900, and i remember the fan really ticking me off, as it was making a sound that sounded like the fan was hitting a wire or something. I also remembered the computer feeling somewhat cheap built. That’s the main reason I now am going for the NC10.

About the N110, it is as you say more expensive, and it has a glossy screen, which rules it out for me.

Also, about the two fingered scroll facility on the Asus, that is supposed to work at the NC10 aswell with a little tweak. The trackpad on the NC10 is a multitouch trackpad, so what I’ve read people do, is they disable the sidescrolling feature on the pad, and add a software that lets you two finger scroll websites and such on the NC10.

Hope that helped!

im currently deciding which to buy. the nc10 for £280 on amazon or the asus eepc 1005 with the n280 chip. its £310 on amazon in white or £350 for black! i think the white is better value, but wht has the nc10 been withdrawn from many shops for the same spec but more costly n110??? i can only get the nc10 on amazon now, but am leaning towards the asus because of the faster chip and two fingered scroll facility

any thoughts?

i just bought the nc10 for £280 and u lot are complaining thats its over priced – if anything its underpriced and the samsung should definitely have won – wot a joke. Who cares about the asus having more battery life – which idiot is gonna spen 7 hours on a laptop. the result was obviously a fix

Between these two one thing to consider is Samsung NC10 comes with two CD software for your recovery and it comes with a program “Recovery Soltion II” that you can select to back up your data or back up your whole partition (when your computer has problem, you can restore from here with everything back to work, not like some brand’s recovery disk only recover with OS).

I like NC 10 even I have ordered many Asus for my coworkers (they want lower price one), I still love this one and the Bluetooth foundation too.

Be careful with buying a Asus 1000HE at BestBuy. It is dumbed down with the Atom N270. Check it out!

Hmz some one replace the Atom n270 in the Sammy with the N280 in, the one in the Asus HE and boom clear the room.
If not then compare it against a 1000H witch has a N270 to loss again…

I prefer the Lenovo S10e. The Samsung beats it on battery life, but in every other category the S10e ties or beats it. Looks better, performs better, it’s lighter, smaller, less expensive, and the keyboards are about even. Now, to be fair, I haven’t tried the Samsung – only read reviews. I have only used the Lenovo, Asus, Acer, and HP. Of these four, I would say the S10 really wins easily. My apologies to Asus, my 2nd favorite.
