  • Abstract:  Given that you can buy a Lenovo IdeaPad G530 notebook for $499--$50 less than price of this netbook--I have to question the overall utility of the NC-20. Just ask yourself: Why bother with a netbook, when I can get a full-featured laptop that's a little heavier but costs less? If you're hell-bent on a 12-inch screen..

  • Samsung has continued the success it had with the excellent NC10 and applied it to a new, slightly bigger form factor with completely different guts inside. For one reason or another, Samsung isn’t actively pushing the NC20, which is something we fi...

  • Abstract:  Samsung NC20 Review Posted on May 29, 09 01:00 AM PDT Thanks to its size, the Samsung NC20 is a 12" netbook that brings an appreciable level of comfort for typing and viewing - two things that their smaller cousins have come under fire for. In our mind...

  • Big 12-inch widescreen. Desirable 1,280-by-800 screen resolution. Full-size keyboard. Performance is better than expected. Very portable. Big battery.
  • Bland design. A bit pricey for a netbook.
  • Despite a slightly bloated price tag, the Samsung NC20 (21GBK) is the only netbook that has both a 12-inch widescreen and a full-size keyboard....

  • Abstract:  The $550 Samsung NC20 netbook is a step up from your average netbook. Bigger than its little brother, the NC10, the NC20 offers a 12.1″ LED WXGA (1280×800) display, powered by VIA’s 64-bit Nano ULV U2250 CPU at 1.6GHz on an 800MHz FSB. It comes with 1...

  • In a market populated by shrinky-dink netbooks with low-res displays for under 400 bucks, hulking bottom-feeder laptops for $750 with severely compromised mobility, and svelte ultraportables hovering near the daunting two-grand mark, the Samsung NC20 i...

  • Abstract:  Finding a netbook with a decent-size screen is almost as difficult as finding one with a full-size keyboard. The Samsung NC20 (21GBK), however, is currently the only netbook that comes with both, and its one of maybe three netbooks that house a 12-inc...

  • Nice display, Keyboard is excellent for a netbook, Modest battery life, Great performance from a VIA platform
  • Poor speaker performance
  • The 12.1" Samsung NC20 is a netbook that is just on the fringe of being the same size as regular notebooks. It offers a large keyboard, higher resolution screen than most netbooks, and long battery life that you would expect from a ULV platform. With a re...
