Hi Ibrahim
Following this thread with interest and curiosity just prompts me to ask
if the right shift key is in the stupid place below the enter key where
it is on the Samsung NC10?
What's pricing like for these new machines by the way?
Many thanks.

Hi Terry.
To answer your second question first, yes, you'll have to go through a
setup process when you first switch on the machine. Some users have
reported that they can use narrator, however I strongly recommend
sighted help as there are some elements of the initial setup which are
not particularly accessible and one specifically that is totally
unusable with screen access of any kind. Now to answer your first
question, the page up and down, home and end keys are next to the up
arrow which is in the middle of a 6 key cluster on the bottom right hand
side of the keyboard. Page up and down are the keys usual function,
however when you press the function key which is the next key right of
control, you get home and end. This means that whenever you want to go
to the top or bottom of a document, you must remember to press the
function key. As for other notable differences from the standard laptop
layout, the backslash and slash keys are next to the right shift key,
backslash first then slash. Also, unlike with most laptops, the windows
key is on the right hand side next to the control key. One other thing
of note is that the FN key when pressed on its own acts as an
application key, similar in function to pressing shift and F10 or the
right mouse button. I find this particularly handy especially in
applications like Skype for instance.
Other than these acceptions, you will have no problem with the keyboard
on this and you'll find that these things become natural to you as you
use the machine.
All the best and please let me know if you get one or two disks in the
box with your computer.

Hi Ibrahim
I don't suppose there is anywhere a document that tells you
where all the different keys are, is there? i.e. insert key, page up
and down, home and end, etc, for the N120?
I presume like usual, when the machine is powered up, you get to
the point whereby you have to enter details like, name, country time and
date, and having to use narrator?
Thanks for any help.
Terry

Hi Terry.
I only have the N120, however I've seen the entire
range. The N110 is merely an updated version of the NC10, its
practically the same except the slightly enlarged touchpad, the touch of
colour design, the glossy screen and the slightly increased battery
life. The N120 builds on the N110 by providing a much improved battery,
up to 8.5 hours normal operation, the bigger keyboard as described and
the better sound system. I've never used or seen an NC20 which is the
12 inch machine but that's too close to a laptop in my opinion so I'm
not interested in it. I believe the N120 is available from a wide range
of places, but I bought mine from www.saveonsamsung.com. Be aware
though that the newer netbooks don't come with recovery disks, you will
have to use the Samsung recovery software to create your own recovery
media. I found this out to my cost when I bought my N120.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi Ibrahim
Do you have the nc110 or the 120? Do both of
them have the better sound quality than the nc 10 and nc20?
If you have the nc110, was it pcworkld you got
it from, as it seems to be exclusive to them at the moment.
thanks.

Hi.
Yes, I own one of these machines and I
have to say I'm totally satisfied with it. It has a bigger keyboard,
thus is ever so slightly bigger and the keyboard with a few small
notable exceptions is full sized. The speaker system on this machine is
superior in my opinion to the NC10 and from what I've heard of the N110
with its own built in subwoofer to provide extra base and depth to the
sound. You also get SRS true surround sound software in place of the
Samsung variant Enhanced Digital Sound.
If you want more specific information,
please feel free to email me off list and I'll be happy to help you
further.
All the best, Ibrahim Gucukoglu.

Hi all
Has anyone yet bought one of the
above? If so, any feed back welcome. I'm not sure that the nc120 is
available yet in the UK, but I believe it is supposed to have better
quality speakers than the 110.
Any feed back appreciated.
