Samsung NC10 Pink Review

The Samsung pink NC10 13P is actually a netbook rather than a standard laptop, but if you are looking for cheap pink laptops for sale, then netbooks are going to be your best option. It is an affordable machine that is perfect for carrying about on your day to day trips. Weighing in at only 2.8lbs, this pink netbook will not become a burden whether you are carrying it around the house or further afield. The performance is significant and although the specifications for processor speed and memory are lower than a standard laptop, they are more than enough for sending e-mails, browsing the internet and running light office applications. You can browse the internet in full screen with a clear and anti-reflective display and there is plenty of memory to store your work and anything your download. The battery has a high capacity and allows you to work for 6 hours without recharging. It offers the perfect balance between performance and price and will exceed your expectations.

Pros

• The Samsung NC10 pink is a laptop that allows you to travel for a day’s work without the need to lug along spare batteries or a power lead. Its long battery life powered by a 6-cell battery is a huge plus.
• It is lightweight and compact.
• The processing power is more than adequate for internet use and office applications. It does what you need it to do day to day. Even with the addition of the odd advanced application, there is no noticeable difference in performance. You can also easily upgrade your RAM to 2GB by adding a 2GB stick to your order when you buy the machine. It costs about $30 and to install it you just need to unscrew the back plate and exchange it with the factory version.
• The hard drive is again big enough for your applications, music and general storage. If you have excessive requirements you could use an SD card or external hard drive.
• The screen resolution is good and the display is bright – bright enough that you may need to turn it down a bit.
• The keyboard is one of the best available on netbooks.  At 93% of full-size it is large, solid and comfortable to use, even for touch typists. The keys are sturdy and responsive.
• It is solidly built and components such as the USB ports have a quality feel.
• The WiFi card provides excellent reception.
• There is an impressive boot time of only 90 seconds to become WiFi ready or 25 seconds from hibernation.
• There are helpful keyboard shortcuts for things like standby, battery remaining, backlight off and more.

Cons

• This is a netbook, so at only 10.1″ the screen is small if you are not used to this type of machine. That being said, you only need to scroll vertically and you add a bit more screen real estate by auto-hiding your taskbar.
• The touch pad is quite short for vertical movements but control panel adjustments to pointer speed can help. Alternatively you can use it with a wireless mouse if you prefer.
• The speakers on this pink Samsung are very quiet. It is difficult to hear much out of them even if they are on full volume. The only way to listen to anything properly is by using headphones.
• Being a netbook there is no optical drive built into the machine. This is good in that it does not weigh down the machine but bad if you need such a drive for something, say to watch a movie or to install software. The best option is to buy an external drive that you can use as and when necessary but that you do not need to carry around all the time.

Recommended accessories

• 2GB Memory stick
• External mouse
• External portable burner

Conclusion

Pink netbooks are excellent options if you are looking for a cheap pink laptop computer as they are affordable and portable whilst being more than capable of living up to day to day use.
