5.0 out of 5 stars Samsung NC20 is very good, 8 April 2009
This review is from: Samsung NC20 12.1-inch Mini-Notebook (VIA Nano U2250 1.3GHz, 1GB RAM, 160GB HDD, Windows XP Home, White) (Electronics)
I took delivery of my new NC20 just today, so while I can't say what it's like with extended use I already have a good idea - excellent. What a gorgeous little machine! This is an excellent mix of style and substance with great functionality. The build quality is excellent, very clean lines, very solid.

The initial setup process is very simple - simply charge the battery (only takes about an hour), and fire it up. It'll need a couple of reboots while it sorts out its restore partition etc, but once that's done you can crack on with using it.

The keyboard is just about the best laptop keyboard I've yet used. It's very quiet, with a smooth travel so it is great for quick typing. One slight quirk is that the Windows and context menu keys have been swapped over for some reason (even on the UK layout). I'm not sure why, but as others have suggested, these can be remapped.

The screen is fantastic - very clear, though it does need a bit of adjustment to the gamma etc. as its default settings are a little washed out. I also like that the NC20 has only a tiny black border around the edge of the screen so it pretty much goes right up to the bezel - no wasted space.

This is also a very quiet machine, and runs nice and cool. Even the hard disk seeking is essentially inaudible. I updated the BIOS, RAM and display drivers on arrival, but apart from that everything arrives with the latest versions. Networking XP Home to my Pro desktop was easy, although I did have some initial difficulty getting the wireless to work with WPA, but it's fine now.

Some users (on other sites) have bemoaned the single bar that acts as both mouse buttons, but it's really not problematic. It's soft, and flexible enough that both buttons can be pressed at the same time if need be, so it's really not a problem.

One nice thing is the lack of bloatware this laptop comes with. There's software for the webcam, a bunch of Samsung's own utilities where the majority are genuinely useful. There isn't really anything you don't need. The only items I've removed are McAfee Internet Security (it's only a trial version anyway and I have alternatives) and Adobe Reader, which can be ably replaced with Foxit Reader which is much smaller and faster and suited to this type of machine.

All in all, this notebook is a delight to use, stylish and just works brilliantly. If you're after a great laptop, I'd heartily recommend this one. I spent quite a while researching my choice and I have to say I can't imagine having chosen a better machine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Samsung NC20... An Honest Review, 24 Mar 2009
By Mr. J. Hopkins "Jay Hopkins" (Blackwood, South Wales) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Samsung NC20 12.1-inch Mini-Notebook (VIA Nano U2250 1.3GHz, 1GB RAM, 160GB HDD, Windows XP Home, White) (Electronics)
I had been looking into purchasing a netbook for quite some time, I had seen a few around but was looking for one that wasn't too expensive with a nice resolution. This laptop is just that. It offers a 1280 x 800 resolution and on a 12" screen this looks very neat and small. When I first opened the box I was excited but then found out that I had a dead pixel on my screen. I contacted Amazon and they sent a replacement the next day and paid for me to send the one with the dead pixel back. I can't fault their service at all. The new one arrived and it's perfect! Just what I wanted! It's very light, the screen is glossy and the laptop has a very smart feel about it. I have installed Microsoft Office 2003 and I haven't had any slow performance so far. I have even installed Adobe Fireworks, Photoshop & Dreamweaver CS3 (was told this wouldn't work on this laptop) and it works fine!! Opens a little slower than used to but it works fine all the same! The keyboard layout is nice but I have noticed two problems, the smaller shift key is on the right hand side of the keyboard and if your typing and used to other laptops you may find yourself pressing the wrong key if you use right shift to use capitals. Another thing I have noticed is that the "\" key is on the right hand side apposed to the left. Not a big problem but may take some getting used to! Other than that I have no problems with the keyboard. Battery life is pretty good as a whole, all depends what your doing on it but I have had around 5 hours or more on a full charge while using it occasionally to browse and chat on Windows Live Messenger. The laptop came with a little cover for it but I would advise buying a case. The laptop doesn't have a CD/DVD drive, which isn't a big problem. I managed to install my programs over my network but you may want to purchase an external drive for around £20-£30 if you do need it. The laptop has Bluetooth, I haven't had a laptop which had this before, and it works pretty well. I have paired my mobile phone with it and I am able to browse through my phone media using Windows Explorer. I am also able to send pictures, videos and music from my phone to the laptop via Bluetooth and they appear in My Documents. So this is a pretty nice feature to have. Windows XP SP3 comes pre installed and runs very smooth. Takes around 20-30 seconds to load up onto the desktop. If your thinking of getting a portable laptop, or maybe even a laptop for the home for basic useage, i.e. documents, browsing, downloading etc then this is the laptop for you! I can't fault it at all!!

5.0 out of 5 stars My 1st new netbook..samsung NC20...a pensioners review, 12 April 2009
By Suzzy (Warwickshire. England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Samsung NC20 12.1-inch Mini-Notebook (VIA Nano U2250 1.3GHz, 1GB RAM, 160GB HDD, Windows XP Home, White) (Electronics)
I have been looking for a suitable laptop/netbook for a very long time [a user friendly home edition]. I wanted something light, long battery life, easy for a beginner to use, decent keyboard, clear screen easy 'mouse-scroll'useage - a lot of conditions. I know nothing about the 'workings' of computers but from turning it on the tutorial was excellent - my itunes loaded immediately - and I can hear them - even better with earphones, the larger screen is crisp and bright no eyestrain my videos/dvd's are a delight to watch the colours are perfect - have had at least 3/4 applications running at once - nearly as fast as our main computer. The keyboard is very comfortable - mouse with scroll button really easy to use - thought I would be connecting a separate mouse but no need. Wireless connection faultless and it is so quiet. I know nothing about storage - but I have everything on it that is on my main computer and still have plenty of room to spare. Originally purchased this for caravan/social use but I use this all the time around the home rather than being stuck in front of the main computer. I love it..you won't regret buying this
