5.0 out of 5 stars
Very solid netbook,
By
This review is from: Samsung N210 10.1-inch Netbook (Intel Atom N450 1.66 GHz Processor, 1 GB RAM, 250 GB HDD, 6 Cell Battery, up to 11.2 Hours, Webcam, Windows 7 Starter, Black) (Electronics)
I bought this a few weeks ago as a replacement for my Asus EEE 701, the original netbook, which came out in late 2007. The Asus in many ways was great--a cheap and tiny machine with a lot of capabilities. The 7 inch screen and inadequate keyboard were ultimately limiting, and battery life reasonable but no more. Hence an upgrade to this Samsung.
The N210 is larger, but still very portable and acceptably light. General build quality seems good. Its appearance and finish is very smart, although my preference would not have been for the shiny lid. The 10 inch screen itself however has a matt finish which is infinitely better than the fashionable glossy screens, which have problems with reflections. The screen resolution of 1024 x 600 is still smaller than I would like, but is as good as you will currently get in 10 inches without spending hundreds more, and works much better for web pages than 800 pixel wide screens, perhaps because 1024 pixels is a common design size for the web. The keyboard and touchpad are excellent; the small right shift key is the only misfeature. The wired and wireless connectivity is comprehensive, barring a 3G modem, which is still a surprising rarity in netbooks. Battery life in my hands seems not too far from the manufacturer's claims: I would say a touch over 10 hours of light use. The new Atom N450 CPU used here does not have the speed of a Core i7 or some such heavy duty processor, but the power usage is less than previous Atom generations (and much less than an i7), and its capabilities are more than good enough for the vast majority of everyday tasks like web browsing or word processing. You would not choose to perform heavy CPU tasks like video editing or cutting-edge games on an Atom-based computer. The provided Windows 7 Starter Edition is just about adequate, but in view of the designed limitations, I reluctantly followed Microsoft's plan: an upgrade to Home Premium. I was also able to run a Linux live DVD (Knoppix) although the Linux wireless drivers for this machine are still maturing at the time of writing. As for most new PCs today, various pieces of trial software are installed. I simply removed the software, not a difficult task. The annoyance disappears quickly. Overall I remain very pleased with this smart netbook, with its good screen and keyboard, and excellent battery life. Highly recommended.

Samsung N210 a great tool but...,
By
This review is from: Samsung N210 10.1-inch Netbook (Intel Atom N450 1.66 GHz Processor, 1 GB RAM, 250 GB HDD, 6 Cell Battery, up to 11.2 Hours, Webcam, Windows 7 Starter, Black) (Electronics)
I have been very impressed with this as a portable tool. However be aware 1) that Samsung load it with software that bogs it down (particularly Hyperspace , which is clearly only a beta version and shouldn't yet be in the public domain let alone bundled with a piece of hardware)and 2)Windows 7 and Office software require 2GB of memory (it only comes with 1GB)and you will find you have to spend an extra £35 after a week to buy the increased memory(it is obviously not included in the base machine because the price with 2GB RAM would make the netbook look very expensive - but you have to eventually buy it anyway!).

Excellent Notebook,
By 1963ade (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Samsung N210 10.1-inch Netbook (Intel Atom N450 1.66 GHz Processor, 1 GB RAM, 250 GB HDD, 6 Cell Battery, up to 11.2 Hours, Webcam, Windows 7 Starter, Black) (Electronics)
Bought this about 6 weeks, plus a 2gb memory expansion (really easy to install) and an external CD drive.
Excellent so far. Connected wi-fi at home with no trouble, I like the Homegroup feature in W7 that allows me to look at folders in my PC. Have used on train to London and back, with the battery lasting all day - did about 5 hours work and the only problem I had was that the train bounced around too much to do fiddly Excel formulae.. Runs Office 2007 perfectly, great for access to the net. Have today loaded all my music on to it and the only negative is that the speakers sound a bit tinny, which didn't really surpise me. Found the web-cam, but haven't used it to contact anyone yet. Can't fault it, would recommend it to anyone.
