Many netbooks only come with one mini PCIe card, which is taken up with the wireless card. While a few others have an extra one. The Samsung NC10 on the other hand, the motherboard has a second PCIe option printed on it but, there’s no socket for it. SammyNetbook user, graemem figured this out when trying to add the Broadcom HD decoder. His solution, to add the second PCIe card, was to buy a socket and solder it onto the motherboard. You can view graemem’s instructions on how to do this yourself here with photos but, it is advised to be very careful.

Still remember Samsung’s old and trusty NC10 netbook? Well, would have thought that in this day and age of Pine Trail netbooks that we would still see the Samsung NC10 up and about and sporting a new feature?

Well, credit that to WiMAX provider Clear which is currently promoting the NC10 now with an integrated WiMAX modem? The Clear WiMAX service will entail you to spend $45/month but you just need to spend $30 for the first six months. That said, the whole deal will make you spend around $1190 for a WiMAX enabled Samsung NC10 netbook.

Oh, in case you already forgot, the Samsung NC10 features 10-inch 1024×600 pixel display, 1GB of RAM, 160GB of HDD and 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 CPU. You can grab this netbook from Clear for $199.99 plus the monthly dues of course.

Today is officially Christmas Week. So, if you’re still catching up on your holiday spending spree and looking to buy a new netbook as a  last minute gift for yourself, Amazon got some more sub-$300 netbooks available. These are aside from the Acer Aspire AODD250 we told you about yesterday.

So, here goes Amazon’s netbooks on sale that won’t make you spend more than $300:

Dell Inspiron Mini 1011

With 10.1-inch screen and 8 hours of battery lie, this netbook will set you back from $296.99. I know that’s a couple of dollars more to $300. But hey, it’s a pretty powerful with the following specs – 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 Processor, 1GB of RAM, 160GB HDD, 1.3MP webcam

If you’re looking for a new netbook, or still haven’t picked one up, Amazon.De have a great price on the Samsung NC10. The netbook has proved to be very popular with over 1.5 million units shipped and is a top netbook. Last time we saw a price reduction on the NC10 on Amazon.de it was down to 375 Euros, or more for the black model. The netbook can now be found in both white and black on Amazon for 299 Euros including free shipping.

Samsung NC10 spotted for 299 Euros is a post from: Eee PC

The Samsung NC10 has proven to be very popular, which is now backed up by shipping numbers. Not surprisingly, the sleek netbook has shipped 1.5 million units worldwide since it’s release 8 months ago. The NC10 features the standard netbook specs, 10.2 inch display, 160GB HDD, 1GB of RAM etc but, at a slightly higher price in the UK. However when browsing the netbook display in my local PC World, the NC10 is still the netbook which stands out above the rest, so it isn’t surprising to see so many units shipped. It would be more interesting to see how many have actually been purchased though. Hopefully this figure will become public soon as well.

Samsung ship 1.5 Million NC10 Netbooks is a post from: Eee PC

Over at Netbook News, they’ve spotted a netbook identical to the NC10 in China. The model of the netbook is ND10 and is practically identical to it’s predecessor the Nc10. Featuring a 10 inch display, along with N270 Intel Atom CPU. The main difference between the two netbooks however, is the ND10 doesn’t come loaded with an Operating System. Customers can either purchase XP to install on it, or stick with a free operating system like Linux, Ubuntu, Android, etc. With the NC10 being phased out and replaced with the N110, N310 and N510, it’s unlikely that this netbook will be spotted outside of China.

Samsung ND10 $50 less than NC10 is a post from: Eee PC

I’m pretty sure that Vodafone has already announced this mobile broadband/netbook package for the Samsung NC10 as early as April. Unless of course there is something new to the announcement.  But anyway, Vodafone UK is announcing the it will start offering the Samsung NC10 with built-in mobile broadband connectivity.

What this simply means is that you can get a free Samsung NC10 netbook if you agree to sign-up for a 24-month service contract that would cost you around £25 and would give you 1GB of data connectivity through Vodafone’s wireless services. You can also choose a higher bandwith of 3GB data if you are willing to pay £30 instead.

Vodafone will be installing VODAFONE SIM plus their mobile broadband software to those Samsung NC10 so you won’t need a USB modem to connect your Samsung NC10 to the web.

So, if you’re living somewhere in the UK, you might want to get this netbook/mobile internet bundle from Vodafone.  And if you do, you may want to get this sleek Vodafone Netbook bag which would cost you only £40, available vodafone.co.uk/ppq.

The Samsung NC10 is available now at the Vodafone online store.

A hack and instructions on how to perform it, show users how to add 3G into their Samsung NC10. The downside to the hack however is that you use the WiFi. The WiFi adapter is switched for a 3G modem instead. The hack is very easy to perform though and WiFi can be replaced with a USB WiFi dongle, giving you the best of both worlds, espcially if you find you use both a lot.

The hardest part is taking the case off and opening it up. Once inside the WiFi adapter can be popped out and replaced with the 3G modem. Additional modification could also be made on the netbook, to allow easy SIM swapping by making a small hole in the bottom and soldering the 3G modem in, as jkkmobile have done to a Dell Mini 9. You can view the steps here.

This will help achieve more sales of the Nc10 for Samsung, who have already sold over a million of them. Amazon.de have reduced the price of the NC10 in white, black, pink and blue. You can now pick up the white NC10 for 377.95 Euros or the black for 368.95 Euros. The blue NC10 can be purchased for less than the white model, at 374.95 Euros. Where as the pink version will set you back the most at 382.95 Euros.

Shipping is included in the prices above. Hopefully other countries will also see a price reduction on the NC10.
