Samsung NC10

[nichorob]

Well that was easy.

Installed Windows 7 RC on my NC120 and very impressed. No driver issues, did a fresh install so deleted all the bloat and partitions. Seems to be running as quick as XP.

Mine is 200 nit and can't say that it's made much difference to be honest. As I have the brightness quite low anyway to save battery I also got my NC10 not long after they were released

Were you aware there was a different type then? Had you seen one with 220nit side by side?

Another quick noob question:

Is it possible to hook up a 20" monitor via the VGA port, a usb keyboard and mouse and run at 1680x1050 for when im at home? If so does the lid have to be up or down?

I wasn't aware until you mentioned it. Sadly not seen a 220nit screen to be able to say how big the difference is. I reckon it'll be quite small tho

Yes. Infact, you can run upto 1920x1200 from the VGA port It'll depend on your power settings but you can have the lid down as so long as you don't have set the system to shutdown/hibernate when the lid is closed.

Thank you sir.

FAIL, I've just been trying to install Windows 7 on mine for the past few hours and realised it's the x64 version, no wonder it isn't working.

Doh, schoolboy.

Does anyone know where there is a driver only download for the soundcard? Or at least what its name is?

I brought the Samsung N110 yesterday, installed Windows 7 straight away, no problems at all. Loving the battery life. Going to upgrade the memory to 2gb next week.

Where did you bring it?

Buy it?

If you mean buy, he can't say. OcUK stock and sell netbooks so they would count as competitors.

That said, google is amazingly easy to use.

He is being sarcastic because the word should have been "bought" not the all too commonly miss-used "brought".

 

[Clown]

Yeah, I didn't need to know the name of a shop because I bought one when they launched.

What's the fan noise like on the n110? For example using it for just web browsing at night when all is silent, is it quiet or a pain in the ass?

 

[Memphis]

If it's anything like the NC10 (I imagine it should be pretty similar!) then it's pretty damn quiet. I would be surprised if it was on all that much just web browsing, and I think you could even set it not to come on at all and run on low power mode.

 

[mrk]

You can't hear it in an ambient room, in a silent room you can hear a whisp of air, nothing more.

Very quiet, not much noise produced by the fan at all

Cheers, now only if it was matte black I'd be sold, really not liking the glossyness of the thing
