Samsung NC10 SE vs regular NC10? I've been reading all the posts and waiting for more reviews of the NC10 SE to show up, now that Amazon has begun shipping. Meanwhile, the price of the NC10 has dropped a bit and with live.com cashback at other sites, it's $70 cheaper than the SE. Since I don't really need more than the 5+ hours of battery life that comes with the regular NC10, I feel ready to buy an NC10-14GW (white) but am wondering if the slightly larger trackpad on the SE will make a real difference in my HQ (Happiness Quotient) that's worth the money and the unknown delivery date.Can any of you lucky folks who have received the SE comment on the new trackpad and if it's much better than the non-special edition?

Not sure why S Quran was getting that sort of battery life with the SE. After the usual battery conditioning over the first few days (full charge, full drain every day), I am getting over 8 hours on normal mode with my SE

This is very helpful. Other discussions have also noted the the SE trackpad does not have multitouch either. I will follow your advice and get the regular nc10, thanks S. Quran!

The N110 I guess is the new generation overlapping the NC10 SE...I cant believe Samsung did this so soon, it hasnt been a month since they NCSE 10 has started shipping to people. That graphic card memory difference could have been nice for the same price. I still have no idea if the matte screen is better or the glossy screen that is claimed to be on the N110

The post here by S. Quran is in contradiction to posts on another thread here indicating that a technician at Samsung someone spoke with indicated that the NC10SE does NOT have the software OR hardware capability to utilize multi touch. Could the Samsung technician have been wrong?

Out of curiosity, how do you check to see if you actually have a Special Edition? I purchased this from Amazon (from this page), but there's no indication on the box or on the laptop itself that it's a NC10-11PBK. On the box and on the laptop itself, it just says NC10-KL01US. I just want to make sure they didn't ship me the wrong one. (I don't have the original NC10, so I have nothing to compare it to.)

Well, I would say, that you could remove the battery and see if it is a 5900mAh which is the new NC10SE, or 5200mAh the old NC10. Let us know what you find.. My will be in on Monday!! I can't wait! :c)

I noticed the same thing. I think there is one vendor that is selling the G7 over $900. If you delve further into the Amazon system you will find that the G7 actually sells about $40 less than the newer model when you calculate shipping.

I also got this from Dell at $799 plus free shipping plus the 20% cashback from Bing. 20% from Bing took 10 days to post to my account and several emails from me, but finally showed up today. Free 3-5 day shipping?! What a farce...I ordered on 11/30 and their expected delivery date is 12/16?!

Does any one know if there's really a big difference with the spec difference of this laptop between amazon and newegg? I WANT THIS LAPTOP by at least the beginning of February! If this sweet baby doesn't come in stock by the middle of January I will`buy it from Newegg before they go out of stock too! And what's with their extra 50 bucks anyway?! Come on AMAZON work with me here! WORK WITH ME!

Hi Terpsichore, to be honest i dont know, but my guess is that the 4GB one has been discontinued, and when that happens the price goes up. Just buy the one that's best for you and your pocket. DONT BUY THE 4GB Please. :) Hope it helps.

Now this thing is up to $1606? is everyone seeing this same price? Why in the world is the price rising like this in $50 chunks? It's like they are trying to make us buy the LNA46750 ($1630 or so). Makes no sense to me...there are apparently many TV buyers at the ready if Amazon wasn't jerking the price all over the place. If they don't get things straightened out shortly, I'll buy it over at Newegg. They're pretty reputable from what I understand, and the Newegg price of $1529 (free shipping) is looking better by the minute - though product appears to be on backorder or something over there. Patience will be a virtue here I guess. Now this thing is up to $1606? is everyone seeing this same price? Why in the world is the price rising like this in $50 chunks?

I have seen it go from pre-order and 1-3 weeks twice to in stock where you could get it delivered next day. I think they are saying 1-3 weeks to be safe as Apple hasn't given them a definite time they will get additional stock. I'd go ahead and order from Amazon as they are by far the least expensive with the rebate and no tax. Also, its easy to return if you buy from Amazon and maybe not so easy from affiliate. I bet it ships within a week if you order now. The other alternative is to come back and check each day to see if it is in stock...it was in stock last weekend for the whole weekend.

There's a 12% cash back available from LiveSearch on purchases from J&R; - lowered the price of the blue XP, 120GB version from $408 ($399 + $9 shipping) to $360. Ordered one yesterday - shipped today. Site now says "backordered" so I'm not sure of the best current deal (probably this one once they're back in stock. Good luck.

It seems like the NC10SE has the matte screen and the nice keyboard, putting it ahead of the 120 in my book. I haven't bought either so I'm not trying to justify a purchase after the fact. I guess the touchpad is bigger on the 120 and the battery life is better on the 120 with the ability to only charge to 80%. Wish I could see these matte and glossy screens in person.

Bite the bullet and just get it if you can find one for sale right now. I pre-ordered mine on Feb 8, and still no ship date from Amazon. :-( From experience, the price of a particular camera model will remain the same until the next new model becomes available.

Does anyone knows the real difference between these two models and which one is better buy? I see the Special Edition has better screen and I know it has better/bigger mouse pad, but what else?

Just ordered mine today (6/15), sure wish there was SOME ETA as my old HP laptop is on the fritz. I can't believe the deal on this thing, almost $1000.00 off the HP price. I wonder if the price has something to do with the lack of ETA? Anyways, here's to hoping there will be some ETA soon. PS: I did call Amazon before I ordered, they had no ETA =(

Amazon gets the 1215N directly from ASUS (IIRC, the 1215N isn't available at B&M; stores, only online). So it's probably very likely that ASUS is trying to sell off the silver stock or is discontinuing it.I took advantage of the price drop, and color really doesn't matter to me. $60 was enough to push me over the fence. :)

What about the nc20... basically an nc10, but with a 12.2" screen? Newegg already has it, I hope Amazon will follow. It is 1G RAM standard, bu expandable to 2G and same 160G HD.

I have this computer; the Lenovo S10. I enjoy it very much. But this is not a new machine, and shouldn't be something you are waiting to receive. I would suggest that you cancel your order and order again through another supplier. It's there on newegg.com for the same price and free shipping.If you can get by with a HDD of 80 Gb, you can even save some money. If you order the model with 512 Mb of RAM, or even 1Gb, it's easily upgraded to the maximum of 2 Gb by investing an additional $20 in a 2Gb RAM stick. Installing it takes under 5 minutes.Finally, if money is not an issue, and you would like something similar with a 6-cell battery, take a look at the Samsung NC-10.

Well, Mark I'm sitting here wondering the exact same thing. Is 120hz worth it? Matte or shiny? Why is the 4069 scarce in stores? Should I trust Eagle delivery? Should I pay hundreds more to just pick it up at a store? Why is the 4071 $200 more and 4" wider? Or maybe go $300 less with last year's 4065? Sorry I have more questions and no answers.

6th ave is all sold out, I ordered it from amazon for $499.00 but the whole 1-2 months thing is starting to piss me off. I will most likely upgrade to the next model up and purchase it from another seller besides amazon. Got the link from my son that said ships within 24-48 hours, but with the holidays and all I didn't order until four days later, Oh well I know it my fault but still rather irritating.
