Samsung NC10 Netbook (Blue) - €319.93 MISPRICE [TheHut / SendIt]

Basq · 2008-11-19 14:26:58

Posted this in the Samsung NC10 thread over in the Laptops forum but thought it deserved it own thread. These are available for about €370 at both Dabs and Elara.. but exclude shipping. You can get them from TheHut and SendIt for about €350 (make sure to pay in sterling - think both allow you to - and the TheHut charge 99p…

Cheers basquille, now has anyone got any suggestions for a good padded bag or backpack for this, assuming it arrives before the 22nd. I'll be bringing it to Sweden for the Christmas, won't have to listen to the FIL then!

Hey,

Can anyone who got a NC10 online confirm what the keyboard is like? All the reviews mention how good the keyboard is but then I went to play with it in PC world today and it this tiny little right shift key, not a full size one that most reviews are showing. Seems the UK keyboard has been changed?

Don't think any of the models have got a full-sized shift key.. every single review I've read have said it's got a great keyboard but the smaller right shift key might catch some people out.

Well this is the first hit for samsung nc10 review in google...

http://www.laptopmag.com/review/laptops/samsung-nc10.aspx

and it has the full shift key. This review shows the same thing in its pic...

http://www.digitgeek.com/samsung-nc10-review/

Even PC World's own site shows the full sized key...

http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/product/seo/339569

I'd imagine i'd get used to it, just when i was typing on it today, i got every single shift wrong :-(

Well I got a nice €55 bag for mine....

And 2Gb of RAM!

Pity my NC10 is still "awaiting stock pick" !

I'm hoping the bag and RAM won't end up on adverts.ie come January:o

Thank God for Elara and my impulsiveness! (Cancelled my Hut order when I realised I could collect it in Parkwest straight away for a few more quid).

Depending on the colour you ordered- the 'few quid more' is between 99 and 113 Euro. Not to be sneezed at........

I ordered the NC10 when it was €350 on theHut and €369 on Elara.

€19 difference. For the sake of 3 weeks + wait, i'm happy with that.

I'd been considering an Acer Aspire One but was didering as I felt it was a tad too small. Given that I was looking at that in the €225-€300 depending on spec. I was never considering shelling out €350-€400 for the Samsung. It was only when I saw the mis-price of €299 that I jumped at it. If the Hut don't come thru with this one then I'll sit it out for a few months in the expectation that prices will drift down as supply increases...

Yes but people who bought it from us at the same time people bought from thehut paid €369.

From what I know they are charging more now?

Yes- the prices seem to be yo-yo'ing wildly on all websites. Strange!

Samsung increased the prices unfortunately so they went up for everyone. Some people who had stock kept it at the lower price, others raised it as soon as the price increase was in place. Suffice to say the first ones that got the NC10s would have had the best deal.

It has gotten really remarkable reviews everywhere- I can see why its so popular. There is an element of testing the market with the first batch though- and when they saw how popular they were- jacking up the prices.......

I saw this at €369 and was very tempted to pick one up. Sillily I decided to wait in hopes that the price might come down before reading about stock shortages etc and finally biting the bullet with Elara at €399. So my indecision ended up costing me €30! :mad:

Still though can't fault Elara at all - ordered yesterday at 12.30 and took delivery at around 15.30 that afternoon. Can't beat that for service!
