Samsung concentrates on quality and design rather than features, resulting in a superb netbook for the right price.

Not quite the most elegant, but by far the most complete and at the most competitive price

Samsung's NC10 isn't the most attractive netbook on the market, but it's built in 3G wireless broadband capabilities and above average battery life makes it a good road warrior.

As fantastic as the Samsung NC10 sounds it’s not all plus points. The touchpad is a touch on the short side, making internet browsing a little trickier than it could have been. It does come packed with a fairly hefty amount of Samsung related bloatware too. All of which can be easily removed, but it makes that first hour of use not quite as fun as you’d have hoped.

There is no 3G modem either, a feature now more prominent on netbooks, but not a surprising omission when this device was launched last year.

As far as netbooks currently on the market go, there’s no doubt that the Samsung NC10 is among the best currently on offer. At its competitive price point, and with all it has to offer, anyone after a portable internet and word processing device should give this one a really good look.

And if you’re in the market for a bigger netbook, you should still give this one a look and see if the drop in size is worth the savings.

Open the lid and you'll find a stunning 10.2-inch backlit LED screen

This 10-inch netbook trumps the field with its spacious keyboard and more than 6 hours of battery life.

+ : One of the best N270 Atom netbooks; great battery life and performance.
- : Small touch pad; no wireless-N or Gigabit Ethernet.
