Its slim-line chassis is accentuated with unique colours, haptic styling and high quality components.As a small laptop, it performs quite well, faster than normal laptops.

Review By Notebookreview

The Samsung NC10 may have been a late arrival to the netbook party but has proved to be very popular. However, there are those users who found the 1024 x 600 resolution display to be a constraint and complained that the NC10′s touchpad was too small. The Samsung NC20 ($478 US MSRP) addresses these complaints by providing larger machine with a 12.1″ display. Samsung describe the NC20 as a “large-screen netbook” and this is a fair description since the underlying hardware is as used in other netbooks (for example a low cost single core CPU).

At 1.2×11.5×8.5 inches and 3.3 pounds, the NC20 lacks some of the toss-in-a-shoulder-bag convenience of the 9- and 10-inch netbooks, but it’s still extremely portable. In fact, it’s only 1.2 inches wider and deeper than Samsung’s 10-inch NC10 and the same thickness. The chassis of the North American model is glossy black on the outside and flat black on the inside, with chrome trim around the edges. (Overseas, the NC20 is offered in white.)

The expanded chassis allows the NC20 to house a full-size keyboard, up from the 93 percent–size keyboard on the NC10; however, the touch and feel of the keys are the same on both. The raised keys provide nice tactile feedback and were comfortable for long typing stints, and there are no spacing issues like those of many netbooks on the market: the right Shift key is full size and directly below the Enter key. However, we were puzzled as to why Samsung decided to keep the arrow keys and the function keys slightly smaller than the rest, given the extra space on the deck.

With a 160GB hard drive, 1GB of RAM and a low power CPU, the NC20 isn’t going to set anyone’s world alight in terms of raw performance, but then again it provides what every other decent netbook provides; enough power to complete a lot of common office or web-related tasks with good battery life and some degree of portability. The machine doesn’t feature a CD or DVD drive, but that helps to make it lighter and more compact. External USB units are cheap enough and fine for occasional use.

Review By Digitgeek

The Samsung NC10 had amongst the best keyboards in its class, and the Samsung NC20 actually manages to improve on that. Most netbooks go wrong with the keyboards, but the Samsung, thanks to its size, manages to fit in a regular keyboard. The keyboard is spacious and has nice key spacing and travel. It is perfect for touch typists and takes jsut a couple of seconds to get used to. The key positioning is standard, unlike many netbooks who have awkward ones. The keys have a nice feel and provide nice tactile feedback.
