In addition, Intel's smallest and lowest power processor, the Intel® Atom™ processor, enables the NC10 to deliver real computing power at a fraction of the weight, size and cost. By incorporating the Microsoft™ Windows® XP Home operating system coupled with options for 80-160GB hard disk storage, the NC10 also sets a new standard in price / performance for netbooks.
Always on the go
The NC10’s ultra durable Protect-o-Edge© casing can easily withstand the stresses and strains of everyday life, making this netbook the ideal companion for a mobile lifestyle. And for maximum freedom and mobility the NC10 delivers longer battery powered performance. With a 6 cell battery capable of just up to 8 hours*, this little powerhouse makes mobile working a more practical reality.
All you need to stay in touch
The NC10 offers a new way for consumers to access the Internet at home and on the move. It boasts a range of advanced communications technologies, including Atheros® 802.11b.g wireless LAN for fast Internet access, a 10/100 Ethernet LAN and optional Bluetooth 2.0+EDR*. It also incorporates an integrated digital motion camera, so it’s easy to stay in touch using video-conferencing or live messaging.

Anti Bacterial Keyboard
And finally, the NC10 features an amazing Samsung innovation - Silver Nano Technology. By sprinkling incredibly small, nano-sized silver ion powder on the keyboard it makes it impossible for bacteria to live and breed, creating a more hygienic personal computing environment.
Premium class, exceptional economy
The NC10 is ideally suited to the first-time buyer or as a supplement to a primary notebook. Its low price and practical functionality gives millions of new people a user friendly way to get onto the web, access emails and social networks.
Samsung has been looking at the netbook market for some time to see where Samsung could really add value for consumers, said Executive Vice President HS Kim, who leads Samsung's computer systems division.
"Through our extensive R&D network, we have gained a true insight into consumers’ frustrations with these products, such as small keyboards and short battery life, which has been very valuable and has allowed us to develop a product we feel fits our customers needs," Mr. Kim said. "Small and light, with the power and functionality for mobile working and web browsing, the NC10 delivers a true online experience from the palm of your hand.”
