Samsung N120 10.1-inch Netbook (Intel Atom N270 1.6 GHz, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB HDD, Windows XP Home, Black)

This notebook is a very capable machine. Apart from the size of the screen, it is if you are working on a full sized laptop. It has a fast processor, good sized hard drive and is as flexible as Windows XP gets. Importantly it has a very sensitive WiFi receiver enabling visibility and connection to all available networks over a wide area.
The 10inch screen takes a bit of customising to maximise the usable area when working with say, Internet explorer but it helps that there are some useful flexible mouse pad tools to aid rapid page scanning and navigation. The keyboard is a good size and the N120 notebook has been carefully thought through for maximising battery life. I have been able to keep it booted up for about week, using it for up to an hour each day before the battery dies. Overall - a highly recommended bit of kit.

Adding to the other reviews I just got this for a steal (No I did not steal it although it is very desireable so be careful when out and about with it). Here we have a laptop in a netbook size. It's fast. It's got a gorgeous 10.1" display (It's a glossy display so may put some off if you want to use it outside or where there is strong light behind you) and it weighs very little.

he keyboard is very useable. Not suffering from those finger spacing and tiny keys like some netbooks. The keys are also responsive to touch. The pad is big enough to get around without slipping your finger off the sides too often. It also has some nice functionality like scrolling and pinching etc.

The biggest appeal is the battery life. Amazing! You can use it all day pretty much without worrying about finding a power socket. It's also fairly light and sturdy.

There are some caveats with setting up a netbook. The screen resolution meant I had to connect it to a larger monitor in order to install some software for my DSLR. The Canon EOS utilty would not install because it complained the resolution was too low. But that's just a quirk of that software I guess.

It also comes with a case which I did not know about. I purchased a case seperately and would advise others to do so too. The case supplied is flimsy and does not have a zipper or even velcro fastening. Just a flap. If you want more protection then get something better.

If you don't wish to lug around a laptop but can't stomach something tiny and hard to use this is the better compromise.

Highly recommended!

Having had experience of using a Samsung NC10 - a pretty remarkable piece of kit, by all accounts - I eventually decided to go for this netbook. I am so pleased that I did. It is fantastic - lightning fast to set up, a breeze to connect wirelessly and a joy to operate! Remarkable battery life and the sound is good with the improved speakers and the full-size keyboard is a delight to use. I am a touch typist and it works just right for me. If you want a good netbook, then this is the one to get. Love it!
