This is a big step for Samsung since the NC10 was their first entry into the netbook market.
One of the features that set the NC10 apart from the other netbooks was it’s keyboard. The Samsung NC10 has one of the best keyboards on a netbook still to date.
Samsung has also announced a new version of the NC10 that will have the option of WiMAX. This NC10 will be a bit more pricy, which will probably turn some people away.
