Samsung NC20 12.1-inch Mini-notebook – Awesome, 19 Oct 2009
By Paul FitzGerald (Hailsham, E.Sussex United Kingdom)
This Mini-notebook is just amazing.. I’ve had Dell & Sony laptops before.. this performs just as well, but half the weight, the battery lasts approx 4 hours and although alittle tinny, the sound is better than my previous Sony. I can make calls via skype without requiring a headset and all my programs run perfectly. The Atom processor is fast enough and thank God, it had XP and not the dreaded Vista, so all my applications ran as fast as I required.

I checked out maost of the mini-netbooks before purchasing the N20 and came to the conclusion the 10″ screens were just too small for comfortable reading and the weight saving was insignificant.

A minor grumble is that the mains lead, etc, was disproportionately bulky, considering the size of the N20.. it would be nice if they could have slimmed that down, plus it required a three pin connection, instead of the more versatile 2 pin, which meant I had to carry the additional lead.

The main grumble I have and it doesn’t just apply to the NC20, is the glossy screen. When i visited PC World, there were only 3 computers with a matt screen, including 1 laptop and no netbooks. This is crazy… for years we used to put filters on glass VDU’s to avoid reflection and now all screens have this stupid reflective glossy screen… what’s the industry up to… so they find that glossy screens look better in the showroom and as a result, sell better! As a consumer, I like to be treated with more respect! I find that there are times when i cannot read my screen because of reflection and I’ll never- ever buy another reflective screen!

That last rant doesn’t ‘reflect’ on the quality of the NC20 (forgive the pun).. it’s an excellent machine When I was recently on vacation, I was able to stay totally up-to-date with my work, albeit I missed my twin 22″ screens. I thoroughly recommend it.

Better than the NC-10, 17 Oct 2009

I previously had an NC-10 and thought that was great…but this netbook is even better. The larger screen is well worth the extra cash to avoid excessive scrolling. The machine is fast and screen resolution is excellent. It will even run Windows 7 ! all in all well worth my pennies and a worthy upgrade from the NC-10
