Advantages: Battery life, appearance

Disadvantages: No disk drive

6 months ago I was opening my christmas present to find the sexiest new piece of technology yet! It was a Samsung NC10. Let's talk about how it looks first of all, as I find that pictures don't give it enough justice. You can get different colours, (red, blue) but mine is black. The lights are blue, they don't shine in your eyes, and they make the whole appearance much nicer. The hinge on the laptop isn't huge and bulging like I've seen on similar sized netbooks, it's smooth and fitting. The outside of the laptop is shiny and adds class to anywhere it's placed. The laptop has three usb ports which I find is handy as most netbooks have 2, the extra one is really important, especially if you use a mouse instead of the touchpad. The camera, which comes with it's own software, is really easy to use, it adjusts to different lighting and has a good quality image. I also want to mention at this point that the microphone is good quality and handy to have if you're a video blogger as you can just press record and have a video with sound immediatly with no fuss.
The feature I was most impressed with though, was the life of the battery on this little machine. I took my laptop to my parents house while visiting one day, and I forgot to take my power lead! (silly me). Anyway my laptop was in use most of the day, little things such as MSN messenger, or taking pictures of video, and surfing the internet. But still, it was in constant use, and it wasn't even nearly running out of battery (it was about 45% left) after 6 hours. My old fujistu siemens laptop lasted 2 hours at the most doing less than that.
The netbook also has a VGA port, and I will often plug in my computers monitor to it, as I have The Sims 3 installed (On this little Samsung NC10) and it runs! It a bit slow loading the graphics now and again, but considering I didn't think it had a chance in running it, I was pretty shocked.
I don't think I've ever been happier with a piece of technology, although it is handy to have been bought an external disk drive.
