Technical overview
Processor and memory
The Samsung NC10 uses a 1.6 GHz Intel Atom N270 processor, and includes 1 GB of memory as standard. Internally, the NC10 has one slot for memory accepting memory modules up to 2 GB.[2]
Display
The screen is a non-glossy display and measures 10.2 inches (259 mm) diagonally, and has a resolution of 1024×600 pixels. An external display can be used through the standard VGA connector.
Keyboard
The 83-key keyboard is 93% of the size of a full-size keyboard, with 17.7 mm pitch between keys and 2 mm travel on each key press, with some reviews claiming it is the best keyboard of any netbook yet released.[3][4] The keyboard has also been coated with anti-bacterial Silver Nano ions.
Storage
The standard internal hard drive size is 160 GB. It also includes a SD card slot, supporting MMC, SD and SDHC cards for additional storage.
Colors and configurations
The NC10 is available in different colors and configurations. Colors include white, black, blue and pink. The configurations may differ in the lack of Bluetooth, e.g. in Spanish markets[citation needed] and some models in German markets, the fitting of an UMTS/HSDPA module, a weaker battery[5], or a stronger battery and a slightly bigger touchpad as "special edition", available in the US[6].
