Lucky Joanna Stern (you may know her from such blogs as Laptop Mag) received a rather exciting package from the mail man this morning: a shiny new Samsung NC10 netbook, bought from a store in its native Korea and popped in the post by a generous friend.
The $500 netbook features all the usual internals (10" screen, 1.6GHz Atom processor, Bluetooth, b/g wireless, 160GB hard drive and a gig of RAM) but it also comes with some extra Samsung Appeal -- the added build quality we expect from the Korean manufacturer.
As Joanna unpacks the box, we see a rather neat looking machine with clean, sharp lines, in contrast to the Wind's more curvy shape, along with the essential six-cell battery (a lot of earlier netbooks shipped with a three-cell, with hilarious consequences -- an ultra portable that lasted less than two hours). Find the video at the link below.
We're sure that, once they get past the Korean keyboard and Korean install of Windows XP, the folks at Laptop Mag will find it a capable machine. We have but one question: Can you hack it ?
