Hi Terry.
To answer your second question first, yes, you'll have to go through a setup
process when you first switch on the machine. Some users have reported that
they can use narrator, however I strongly recommend sighted help as there are
some elements of the initial setup which are not particularly accessible and
one specifically that is totally unusable with screen access of any kind. Now
to answer your first question, the page up and down, home and end keys are next
to the up arrow which is in the middle of a 6 key cluster on the bottom right
hand side of the keyboard. Page up and down are the keys usual function,
however when you press the function key which is the next key right of control,
you get home and end. This means that whenever you want to go to the top or
bottom of a document, you must remember to press the function key. As for
other notable differences from the standard laptop layout, the backslash and
slash keys are next to the right shift key, backslash first then slash. Also,
unlike with most laptops, the windows key is on the right hand side next to the
control key. One other thing of note is that the FN key when pressed on its
own acts as an application key, similar in function to pressing shift and F10
or the right mouse button. I find this particularly handy especially in
applications like Skype for instance.
Other than these acceptions, you will have no problem with the keyboard on this
and you'll find that these things become natural to you as you use the machine.
All the best and please let me know if you get one or two disks in the box with
your computer.

Hi Ibrahim
I don't suppose there is anywhere a document that tells you where all the
different keys are, is there? i.e. insert key, page up and down, home and end,
etc, for the N120?
I presume like usual, when the machine is powered up, you get to the point
whereby you have to enter details like, name, country time and date, and having
to use narrator?
Thanks for any help.
Terry

Hi Terry.
I only have the N120, however I've seen the entire range. The N110 is
merely an updated version of the NC10, its practically the same except the
slightly enlarged touchpad, the touch of colour design, the glossy screen and
the slightly increased battery life. The N120 builds on the N110 by providing
a much improved battery, up to 8.5 hours normal operation, the bigger keyboard
as described and the better sound system. I've never used or seen an NC20
which is the 12 inch machine but that's too close to a laptop in my opinion so
I'm not interested in it. I believe the N120 is available from a wide range of
places, but I bought mine from www.saveonsamsung.com. Be aware though that the
newer netbooks don't come with recovery disks, you will have to use the Samsung
recovery software to create your own recovery media. I found this out to my
cost when I bought my N120.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi Ibrahim
Do you have the nc110 or the 120? Do both of them have the better sound
quality than the nc 10 and nc20?
If you have the nc110, was it pcworkld you got it from, as it seems to be
exclusive to them at the moment.
thanks.

Hi.
Yes, I own one of these machines and I have to say I'm totally
satisfied with it. It has a bigger keyboard, thus is ever so slightly bigger
and the keyboard with a few small notable exceptions is full sized. The
speaker system on this machine is superior in my opinion to the NC10 and from
what I've heard of the N110 with its own built in subwoofer to provide extra
base and depth to the sound. You also get SRS true surround sound software in
place of the Samsung variant Enhanced Digital Sound.
If you want more specific information, please feel free to email me off
list and I'll be happy to help you further.
All the best, Ibrahim Gucukoglu.

Hi all
Has anyone yet bought one of the above? If so, any feed back
welcome. I'm not sure that the nc120 is available yet in the UK, but I believe
it is supposed to have better quality speakers than the 110.
Any feed back appreciated.
