Samsung doesn’t officially sell a 9 cell battery for the NC10 netbook. But you can pick up some third party 9 cell batteries on eBay for just under $100. While third party batteries can be flaky sometimes, often providing less run time than you’d expect or dying altogether shortly after your purchase, the folks at […]

Samsung NC10 touchpad hacks
The Samsung NC10 is a popular netbook with a nice large keyboard, good battery life, and a kind of lousy touchpad. One problem with the touchpad is that it’s pretty much flush with the rest of the computer, making it hard to find the edges and easy to slip your finger off the touchpad altogether. […]
Samsung prepping a light blue NC10 netbook
Hot on the heels of the pink Samsung NC10, I introduce the light blue model. Notebook Italia reports that Samsung will soon introduce a power blue version of its popular netbook. Other than the new color, there’s nothing particularly distinctive about this new model. It will sport the same 10.2 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel […]
Bet you didn’t know netbook speakers were upgradable
OK, technically I don’t think any laptop maker would advise you to rip apart your computer, cut the speaker cable, remove the tiny built in speakers and repalce them with another tiny but higher quality speaker. But if you’re comfortable doing those things, a member of the Sammy Netbook forums has shown that it’s possible. […]
Samsung NC10 goes pink just in time for Valentine’s Day
Pink netbooks are nothing new. MSI, Acer, Dell, and Asus have all released mini-laptops with pink lids and/or bodies as part of their netbook lineups. And if you like a pink laptop, or somehow believe that the color makes your notebook less likely to be stolen, good for you. But the thing I don’t get […]
Samsung NC10 extended batteries available on eBay
The Samsung NC10 netbook already gets better battery life than most other mini-laptops on the market, thanks to a 6 cell battery and excellent power management features. But if 7 hours of run time isn’t enough for you, an eBay seller in Hong Kong is selling 9 cell, 7800mAh batteries for the Samsung NC10. The […]
Samsung updates NC10 update manager
Samsung has released a new version of the Update Plus software for its NC10 netbook line. I don’t happen to have a Samsung NC10 lying around, but Sammy Netbook reports that up until now the built in software manager was practically useless. When you ran the utility it never seemed to find new software updates, […]
First look at Vodafone’s Samsung NC10 with 3G
Vodafone is offering the Samsung NC10 netbook with a 3G modem in Germany. Customers can pay 479 Euros to get the netbook without a service plan, or they can get the netbook for free by signing up for a plan that costs 49,90 Euros a month. A member of the Eee PC News forums has […]
Samsung working on new netbooks
Samsung is reportedly working on its successor to its popular NC10 netbook. At first blush, the NC10 didn’t look like anything too special. Like many of its competitors, the netbook has a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 CPU, a roomy hard drive, and a 10.2 inch screen. But thanks to excellent build quality, superb battery life, […]
Touchscreen kit for the Samsung NC10 (and other netbooks)
Next week a new touchscreen kit designed for Samsung NC10 netbooks is expected to hit eBay for about $95. The kit comes from the same folks who brought us a solderless touchscreen kit for the Acer Aspire One. The company also has touchscreen kits for 8.9 inch netbooks including the Asus Eee PC 900/901 and […]
