The Samsung NC Netbook for Surfers On The Go
The netbook business has seen a gigantic increase in sales over recent time as more and more users have become keen to stay linked while on the go. Although gizmos like the iPhone have provided that ‘connectivity fix’ for a lot of users there are also a new sub-set of users who call for additional screen space and keyboard capability to keep them absorbed.
And then comes the smaller version of the laptop called a netbook. Intended principally for surfing the netbook has turned out to be a very big hit and the size, along with the lower cost, has been the main promotion points.
And among some of the most well-liked netbooks are the www.nc10.co.uk/nc10_black.php from Samsung. In actuality since it was launched back in 2008 it has become one of the leading netbooks sold online.
Samsung have understood the end consumer requirement very well and their well designed www.nc10.co.uk/nc10_blue.php is proof to what a major barnd can do, and at a small part of the asking price of one of their much more expensive, and bigger, stablemates.
The NC10 is designed in 4 colours. The regular Black, the pure White, the Blue for Boys and of course…yes you guessed it….the NC10 Pink for girls. They have covered all their options and gone for a mass market appeal.
They all have a very strong specification:
- Intel Atom processor
- 10.2 inch widescreen display is optimised to deliver a seamless visual experience
- Genuine Microsoft Windows XP Home
- Normal-size, notebook PC style keyboard, for easy typing
- Integrated 1.3 mega pixel digital motion camera
As soon as it is set up, it does a backup of the initial setup so that you can always roll back to its original state. You can download updates for Windows and it recommended I download Internet Explorer 7.
One weakness is the size of the touch pad, it’s not very big, but this is for the reason that the keyboard uses most of the space. An extra issue is that it has a solitary rocker button, so it’s not possible to press both buttons simultaneously.

Audio Visual Installation
For most people, the procedure for audio visual installation is no more involved than taking their new plasma or LCD TV out of a massive box and plugging it into a home cinema system, clicking the “on” button and watching while the automatic setup program runs.
If you’ve bought a cheap home cinema system and TV that’s probably ok but to be reasonable to the makers, you should dedicate a bit of time to reading the installation instructions quite closely.
But who isn’t in a hurry at this moment!
Suppose however that you have purchased better quality AV kit and have an excellent quality high definition LCD or plasma display or even a projector then it is often worth getting a suitably qualified AV engineer to help you configure and set up your equipment so that you get a top quality audio and visual experience.
There is no point in owning top notch electronics and paying little attention to setting it up carefully.
Careful AV installation does matter. It makes a big difference.
AV Installers are true experts in picture and sound calibration. They can help you get the best from your equipment using specialist technical equipment of their own. But if you are after a top quality AV installation and have a reasonably substantial budget then you should consider using an AV installer to help you specify the equipment you need in the first place. The ideal system should take into account the quality of the space and acoustics of your home cinema so that you get the cinema quality AV experience you want. Large rooms with high ceilings and hard reflective surfaces need entirely different settings on your amplifier than low rooms with plush carpets and curtains.
A qualified AV technician will explain how he works without boring and baffling you with technical jargon but never forget that the ultimate judge of your AV Installation is you yourself.
