Hi I got mine a week ago from Curry's and it is a wonderful little machine
and the battery life is around 7.5 hours so you don't have the battery life
correct.
I have installed JAWS and some other programmes with no problems at all.
Incidentally I paid £322,96 for mine.

Hi Jackie,
Correct on everything apart from the battery life, I know someone who has
got 9 hours out of one of these. Getting mine hopefully tomorrow, ordered it
from Microwarehouse on Wednesday, but they've only just got them in stock.

Hi All
Apologies for cross-posting for those subscribed to both lists, but this
topic has been covered on Access UK and BCAB recently.
Having been very interested in the thread of Netbooks, I decided to have a
wander round while on a couple of days leave last week, and have now
purchased the Samsung NC10. I looked at the Advent and Asuss machines, as
well as a similar spec Packard-Bell and the Samsung. I chose the latter
because I just liked the keyboard that little bit better. For those who use
a Pac Mate qwerty, the keys on the Samsung are not unlike it, and I felt
comfortable typing on it without feeling too cramped up for space.
I've now installed JAWS, K1000 and Microsoft Office Professional 2003, and
find it works a treat with these and other programs I have added and use
regularly. In fact, it's a cracker! I particularly love its portability,
and bought a nice little bag that takes its mains charger and has room for
other items like an external drive or USB pen.
For those interested in wanting to buy one of these machines, the Samsung
NC10 comes with 1GB RAM, 160GB hard drive, WiFi and Bluetooth, Windows XP
Home, has three USB ports, ethernet connection, microphone and headphone
sockets, and a battery life purported to be around the 2.5 hour mark. They
come in I believe blue, white and black, the latter being the choice I went
for. They cost around £300.
All the machines I looked at had very similar specifications, with a slight
variation on the estimated battery life. For me - and this is very personal
to the individual - the Samsung had just that bit nicer keyboard.
So far, so brill!!
