Just wondering what type of cable you need to connect this netbook to a TV? Thanks

It only has a VGA out so you will need a TV with VGA input or else one these cables:

It really depends on your TV. You have VGA and Audio out from the laptop. Maplins have a range of connectors that can convert this to whatever your TV will accept. Its entirely possible your TV may take a straight VGA connection- go explore what its inputs are.

You can also get a scart connection which you'd make up the connections on from a VGA to composite cable and an audio LR splitter cable. Its not elegant- but it works.

Definately not, especially not HDMI elegant :-)

12-15 years of technology advancement there!

Who knows- perhaps his TV has a straight VGA input socket- lots do.

Such a thing couldn't be possible?

EDIT: Holy dear Google it's true!? :-P

I think I'll have to buy the 9 cell battery from DX as it is frustrating constantly charging this.

Have any of ye had any bother with the DX NC10 battery. What is the max amount of time you got out of the battery.

They tend to degrade quite quickly. THe nc10 has a great battery life out of the box though, how long do you get out of each charge?

Dman001 · 30-08-2009 03:15PM

About 3 hours of surfing the web and watching a few videos online. The battery I have is a 3 cell battery.

I'd recommend you try source an official Samsung 6 cell battery. A lot of users are able to get about 6 hours while browsing over Wi-Fi.

Dman001 · 30-08-2009 04:09PM

I'd get more time out of the 9 cell from DX and it would probably work out the same price rather than buying an official Samsung one.

I get roughly two hours doing the same, running Windows 7 if that makes any difference.

Is that with a 3 cell battery?

Dman001 · 02-09-2009 12:52AM

I notice that when playing a video in fullscreen on the laptop the screen slightly flickers in the middle of the screen. Could this be due to the resolution of the video?

What type of video are you playing? I haven't noticed any flicker when watching video on my NC10; I generally use either MPC HC or PowerDVD.

Dman001 · 02-09-2009 01:36AM

It is an MP4 video, downloaded from iTunes. It isn't really a flicker but more of a jitter.

Edit:I just played a video on the RTE Player in fullscreen and it played okay. I also noticed that when I turn on the laptop and Windows is loading, the screen goes black for a second or two.

My 9-cell Dealextreme battery just arrived, it's bigger and heavier than I expected, even afters seeing pics of one installed.

I'll see how it goes over the next few days and compare it to the (Argos) 3-cell which is only lasting me a shade over two hours.

Hi Justin,I was thinking of ordering the 9 cell from Deal extreme,can you give an update in a day or so on the battery and if possible post a photo of the NC10 with the battery,i heard it raises the back of the lap top up a bit.Thanks.

How's this?

I have just charged it up for the first time and it's giving me an estimate of a little over 8 hours.

Abelloid · 02-09-2009 06:37PM

Just a note on these, I bought one a few months ago from deal extreme.
Yes the battery life is about 8 hours, but the battery died after a couple of months useage and am back to the standard battery now.
