Samsung N130-13B 10.1 inch slate blue Netbook review

The Samsung is an exceptionally solid netbook with good performance and is like a cheap kids toy. I've seen a few positive comments on this model, and it offers a good mix of style and performance. As with all netbooks it blows away other computers, but the price is right and the specifications balance sufficient to give a good experience.

Here are some of the key features:

2.8lbs10.1 po screen1024 x 600 memory160GB hard driveFast EthernetWireless 802 resolution1GB

The size of the screen is sufficient for a web browser, although it will be cramping of certain Web sites and they could be zoomed for optimal viewing.

The Intel Atom processor is the specification stock for netbooks from the day where it was introduced there are no surprises and no difference in real performance between it and other netbooks.

The keyboard, often a point difficult for those with large hands, is about 90% of the size of a standard keyboard and is large enough to use comfortably, although not to full weeks at computer work.

Outside of the netbook is sturdy and against scratches and abrasions.

1 GB of memory will handle most web navigation needs. This will allow two or three programs to be open at the same time. Firefox with tabs in 15-20, Tweetdeck and an instant messaging client will handle very well. Performs a both give much better results.

I am pleased that 802. .11n-ready wireless networking is included. Since netbooks are meant to be connected to the Internet primarily and almost everything online, a decent network connection is large enough. Accelerate the local connection, i.e. the connection, the computer to the Internet router wireless makes the experience much more homogeneous.

Other extras include audio input, output audio, integrated speakers, integrated webcam, built-in microphone, VGA port, and three USB ports.

I am not drooling over netbooks as I was once, but I think that it would be very high on my list if I counted on getting one. He hits well where it should and looks good at startup. The price of $300 is quite difficult to beat.

Samsung N130-13B 10.1-Inch Slate Blue Netbook Review

The Samsung is an unusually solid netbook with good performance and doesn’t look like a cheap kids toy. I’ve seen quite a few positive comments on this model and it offers a good mix of styling and performance. As with all netbooks it won’t blow other computers away, but the price is right and the specifications balanced enough to give a good experience.

Here’s some of the main features:

2.8lbs10.1 inch screen1024 x 600 resolution1GB of memory160GB hard driveFast EthernetWireless 802.11b/g/n

The size of the screen is enough for a web browser, although it will be cramping some websites and they might need to be zoomed out for optimal viewing.

The Intel Atom processor is the stock specification for netbooks ever since it was first introduced so there are no surprises and no real performance differences between this and other netbooks.

The keyboard, often a tough point for those with larger hands, is about 90% the size of a standard keyboard and is big enough to use comfortably, albeit not for a full weeks work at the computer.

The outside of the netbook is robust and does well against scratches and abrasions.

1GB of memory will handle most web browsing needs. This will allow two or three programs to be open at the same time. Firefox with 15-20 tabs, Tweetdeck and an instant messaging client will handle just fine. Running one at a time will yield better results though.

I’m glad that 802.11n wireless networking is included. As netbooks are meant to be connected to the Internet mostly and do almost everything online, a decent network connection is pretty important. Speeding up the local connection, i.e. the wireless connection from the computer to the Internet router, makes the experience that much more seamless.

Other extras include audio input, audio output, built-in speakers, built-in webcam, built-in microphone, VGA port, and three USB ports.

I’m not drooling over netbooks as I once was, but I think this one would be high up on my list if I was planning on getting one. It hits does well where it needs to and looks good to boot. The $300 price is pretty tough to beat.
